From some of the world’s great photographers:
“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.”
– Edward Steichen
“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
-Ansel Adams
“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.”
– Paul Caponigro
“There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.”
-Ansel Adams
“In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”
– Alfred Stieglitz
“Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter.”
– Ansel Adams
This pretty much sums up my philosophy about photography. I couldn’t have said it better than the above!
