“My favorite type of photography - apart from fashion photography - is journalism, which in a way documents something that exists in a very precise moment, that didnt exist in a moment before and will not exist ever again. This has influenced my work a lot - I usually try to make my images look like they just exist, like no effort was put into it.” WayTryingLooksMomentsEffortFashionTypePhotographyMy FavoriteJournalismDocumentsPreciseFashion Photography Author:Mario Testino
“The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years.

“Look at the things around you, the immediate world around you. If you are alive, it will mean something to you, and if you care enough about photography, and if you know how to use it, you will want to photograph that meaningness. If you let other people's vision get between the world and your own, you will achieve that extremely common and worthless thing, a pictorial photograph.” PeopleIfsKnowsWorldWantLooksMeanEnoughUseCareCommonVisionKnow HowAliveAchievePhotographyPhotographWorthlessIf You CarePictorial Author:Paul Strand
“For this very reason I refuse all the tricks of the trade and professional virtuosity which could make me betray my career. As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document.

“When a person looks at a photograph you've taken, they will always think of themselves, their own life experience. They will relate your photograph to their memories.

“I think I’ve said this before many times—that photography allows you to learn to look and see. You begin to see things you had never paid any attention to. And as you photograph, one of the benefits is that the world becomes a much richer, juicier, visual place. Sometimes it is almost unbearable — it is too interesting. And it isn’t always just the photos you take that matters. It is looking at the world and seeing things that you never photograph that could be photographs if you had the energy to keep taking pictures every second of your life.” IfsThinkingWorldLooksSaidSometimesMatterEnergyInterestingAttentionSeeingBenefitsPhotographyPaidPhotographVisualsUnbearableEvery SecondTaking Pictures Author:Saul Leiter
