“Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate. Most of the photographs in your paper, unless they are hard news, are lies. Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality... Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.” PeopleHardShowsRealityLyingRolesFashionPaperPhotographyNewsPhotographDeceptionPropagandaGlamorous Author:Martin Parr
“Most photographers go and photograph something that they see, that exists, and that somebody else has created - they document it.

It's the meaning of the word photography: "writing with light."” WritingLightGuyGirlHouseSituationFashionPhotographyPhotographerPhotographDocumentsDecorGet A Girl Author:Mario Testino

“There's this one photograph of guy I know named Simon. The way he's standing, the background, the way his tie's flipping in the wind-it looks good in the small version, but in the big version, he looks like some kind of Italian fashion superhero or something. Like if the fashion police couldn't handle it, they'd call Simon, wearing a big S on his chest for some kind of fashion superhero.” KindGuyFashionPolicePhotographItalianSuperhero Author:Scott Schuman
