“It is essential for the photographer to know the effect of his lenses. The lens is his eye, and it makes or ruins his pictures. A feeling for composition is a great asset.

To achieve his best work, the young photographer must discover what really excites him visually. He must discover his own world.” IfsThinkingKnowsWorldMatterFeelingsEyeYoungDoubtAchieveEffectsEssentialsPhotographyInstinctPhotographerRuinsHis EyesAssetsCompositionLensesBest Work Book:Bill Brandt: Selected Texts & Bibliography Source: Bill Brandt: Selected Texts & Bibliography
