“Essentially, in photography, I think on two levels: one emotional and the other technical. The emotional impact has to do with looking for something dramatic happening in the photograph, something that reaches out and touches somebody in some way. And the technical is having to do with composition and framing - light and dark, light and shadow.” ThinkingWayTwoLightDarkLevelsEmotionalPhotographyHappeningsShadowImpactPhotographDramaticReach OutCompositionLight And DarkFramingLight And Shadow Author:Leonard Nimoy
“Obviously, we can see what was in front of the camera, but if a photograph is honestly made, it's a bit of a self-portrait.

“... the thing that's happening today vis-á-vis computer imaging, vis-á-vis alteration, is that it no longer needs to be based on the real at all. I don't want to get into jargon - let's just say that photography to me no longer pertains to the rhetoric of realism; it pertains more perhaps to the rhetoric of the unreal rather than the real or of course the hyperreal.” WantNeedsRealTodayCoursesComputerPhotographyHappeningsRealismRhetoricUnrealJargonAlterationsImaging Author:Barbara Kruger
“3D is very exciting. I love it. I'm a complete convert. Everything for me, from now on, is 3D. I'm completely convinced it's the future of home entertainment, as well as cinema entertainment. I think it's a paradigm shift, in terms of cinema, and those things don't happen very often. The introduction of sound, the introduction of color photography and now 3D have been the big shifts. They happen once every 40 or 50 years, so it's very exciting to be a filmmaker, working while one of them is happening.” ThinkingYearsWellsHas BeensHomeBigsHappensSoundTermColorPhotographyHappeningsExcitingEntertainmentConvincedCinemaFilmmakerIntroductionParadigmParadigm ShiftColor Photography Author:Paul W.

“People think because it's photography it's not worth as much, and because it's a woman artist, you're still not getting as much - there's still definitely that happening.

“Well, I do think, particularly the way I work, the better images occur when you're moving to the fringes of your own understanding. That's where self-doubt and risk taking are likely to occur.

“A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he's being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks.
