“While photography to Cartier-Bresson is constantly an intuitive process, it is never purely instinctive. It is founded on continuous intellection, on ceaseless consideration during all moments previous to, or preparatory for, the pressing. It does not only operate in the blinding flash of a moment seized; it works all the time. The snatched picture merely cuts across the vein of observable incident or accident which is always beating, whether or not the fingers actually press.” DoeMomentsProcessCuttingPhotographyPressesFingersAccidentsConsiderationFlashVeinsIntuitiveIncidentsCartier Author:Lincoln Kirstein
“The most prevalent way of working in photography right now is project oriented: you go after an idea. I like the old way, the intuitive approach. You follow your nose and take pictures and see what emerges. It happens after the fact.” WayIdeasFactsHappensRight NowProjectsApproachPhotographyNosesIntuitiveOld Ways Author:Mark Klett
“In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.” IfsMindFeelingsEyeChanceAbilityPracticeParticularPhotographySightPhotographPrintIntuitiveGood Chance Author:Ansel Adams

“What I feel is that the picture-taking process, anyway a greater part of it, is an intuitive thing. You can't go out and logically plan a picture, but when you come back, reason then takes over and verifies or rejects whatever you've done. So that's why I say that reason and intuition are not in conflict-they strengthen each other.” FeelsReasonDoneProcessGreaterPlansConflictPhotographyPhotographerIntuitionRejectsIntuitiveVerifyPicture Taking Author:Wynn Bullock
