“I like getting my ideas from the things of now. I am very conscious of the moment, of images that belong to this moment instead of another period. Fashion is really a reflection of our lives. You see women today and they don't do their hair up; they all wear their hair undone. So you have to reflect that in your photography .” IdeasMomentsTodayOur LivesFashionHairPeriodsPhotographyReflectionConsciousUndoneHair Up Author:Mario Testino
“To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be the source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and of self.” PeopleWorldWellsSelfRealitySpiritualDifficultRealizingAwarenessSourcePhotographyReflectionDirectMajorityPhotographFactualSpiritual Awareness Author:Ansel Adams
“Literally, no man ever sees himself as others see him. No photograph or reflection ever gives us the same slant on ourselves that others see. It has often been proved on the witness stand that no two people ever see the same accident precisely the same way. We see through different eyes and from different angles. But if we could see things as other people see them, we could come closer to knowing why they do what they do and why they say what they say.” PeopleIfsMenWayGivingTwoDifferentEyeKnowingPhotographyReflectionPhotographAccidentsWitnessAngleDifferent Angles Author:Richard L.

“Michaelangelo said the mirror is our greatest teacher. My use of mirrors in my work helps me uncover psychic layers. Often, the face is distorted in the mirror so it is much more than a simple reflection. Sometimes something surprising emerges - some darkness or secret appears without us knowing why or giving it permission.” GivingSaidSometimesHelpingUseFacesSimpleSecretDarknessKnowingTeacherPhotographyReflectionMirrorsPhotographerHelp MeSurprisingLayersPermissionPsychics Author:Joyce Tenneson
