Usually, we look at pictures to inspire our photography, but what words of wisdom do those behind the lens have.Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.You don’t take a photograph, you make it.If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.
Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.If I have any ‘message’ worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no shortcuts in photography.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.Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.In the world of photography, you get to share a captured moment with other people.Photography helps people to see.
