Photography Quotes Quotes

“A society where feminine beauty is defined not by the human self on genuine intellectual and sentimental grounds, but by a computer software on the grounds of economic interest, is more dead than alive. It is a society of human bodies, not human beings.”

“The artistic creation of the poet, painter, photographer, and writer is a reflection of the artist’s inner world. The agenda of consciousness that spurs all forms of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but to portray its inward significance to the creator. A great poem, painting, photograph, and written composition fully express what the creator feels, in the deepest sense, about the distinctively depicted image that captured their imagination.”

“Photos which captures human sadness are the noblest and the most meaningful of all the photos!”

“Besides being a writer, I experienced seven other careers/jobs along the years: photographer, model, fashion stylist, DJ, design shop assistant, waitress, cook, retoucher. I learned to work with film and cameras that were thrice my age. I learned to work with my curiosity to make people dance and laugh. I learned to work with my body to sell clothes and convey emotions. I learned everything I could about mid-century modern design and I can still tell one piece from another and recognize a fake today. Sometimes I forget about this past decade, where I did all these things for a living. Then I see pictures and I remember that I did them all with love. I had a lot of fun. And I gained a lot of skills”

“Time is the sole photographer of all the times, from the Big Bang till the possible Big Crunch!”

“This book does not try to “document” any particular aspect of Indian life. To me, doing such a thing would seem a pretentious and pseudo-scientific undertaking, especially for someone from the West. The photographs also make no intentional social or political statement. I never say, when discussing my work, that I am “concerned” with anything (another favorite word tossed about, all too much, by young and socially conscious post-modernists).”

“Every time the long-forgotten people of the past are remembered, they are born again!”

“My selfie my life!”

“My life my selfie!”

“Photobomb me at your own risk!”

“Take a look at photos where a person who is still alive and a person who died are together! Here lies a real illusion here! As if two birds were together, one flew away, but still the two are together! One of the two stones in the river has drifted away, but both are still side by side!”

“The sun creates your shadow; the mirror takes your shadow into itself; if you take a photo of the mirror, your shadow will be a photo standing in the mirror! Those who see the photo congratulate the photographer, forget the sun, and forget the mirror! While celebrating beauty, don't forget those who contributed to its creation!”
