Portraits Photography Quotes By Gabriel Garcia Marquez

In the parlor was a huge camera on wheels like the ones used in public parks, and the backdrop of a marine twilight, painted with homemade paints, and the walls papered with pictures of children at memorable moments: the first Communion, the bunny costume, the happy birthday. Year after year, during contemplative pauses on afternoons of chess, Dr. Urbino had seen the gradual covering over of the walls, and he had often thought with a shudder of sorrow that in the gallery of casual portraits lay the germ of the future of the city, governed and corrupted by those unknown children, where note even the ashes of his glory would remain. — Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Portraits Photography Quotes By Henri Cartier-Bresson

As time passes by and you look at portraits, the people come back to you like a silent echo. A photograph is a vestige of a face, a face in transit. Photography has something to do with death. It's a trace. — Henri Cartier-Bresson

Portraits Photography Quotes By Rachael Ray

Portraits Photography Quotes By Emily Skrutskie

And it sucks, because I want to kiss her. It's infuriating how perfect it would be to kiss her right now, perched on a cannon on a pirate ship under the stars. That sounds like something off the pages of an adventure novel. But my life isn't one of those stories. My story is a hurricane, and here with Swift is just the eye. — Emily Skrutskie

Portraits Photography Quotes By David DuChemin

It's the difference between your wife's passport photograph and the portraits you took when you got
engaged. Both may have been created with similar technology, but what stands in that great gulf between them are the passion you have for your wife, the knowledge you have of her personality, and your willingness to use your craft, time, and energy to express that. One says, "She looks like this." The other says, "This is who she is to me. It's how I feel about her. See how amazing she is? — David DuChemin

Portraits Photography Quotes By William Klein

I have always loved the amateur side of photography, automatic photographs, accidental photographs with uncentered compositions, heads cut off, whatever. I incite people to make their self-portraits. I see myself as their walking photo booth. — William Klein

Portraits Photography Quotes By Matt Hardy

Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph. — Matt Hardy

Portraits Photography Quotes By Harry Kemp

Where the vast cloudless sky was broken by one crow I sat upon a hill - all alone - long ago; But I never felt so lonely and so out of God's way, As here, where I brush elbows with a thousand every day. — Harry Kemp

The Gracehoper was always jigging ajog, hoppy on akkant of his joyicity. — James Joyce

Portraits Photography Quotes By Douglas Rushkoff

Many billboards and magazine ads have resorted to showing isolated body parts rather than full-body portraits of models using or wearing products. This style of photography, known in the industry as abstract representation, allows the viewer to see himself in the advertisement, rather than the model. — Douglas Rushkoff

Portraits Photography Quotes By Yasumasa Morimura

Taking photographs is generally an act of 'looking at the object, whereas 'being seen' or 'showing' is what is most interest to one who does a self-portrait ... self-portraits deny not only photography itself but the 20th century as an era as well ... an inevitable phenomenon at the end of the 20th century. — Yasumasa Morimura

Portraits Photography Quotes By Roland Barthes

Photography transformed subject into object, and even, one might say, into a museum object: in order to take the first portraits the subject had to assume long poses under a glass roof in bright sunlight; to become an object made one suffer as much as surgical operation; then a device was invented, a kind of prosthesis invisible to the lens, which supported and maintained the body in its passage to immobility: this headrest was the pedestal of the statue I would become, the corset of my imaginary essence. — Roland Barthes

Portraits Photography Quotes By Chuck Palahniuk

When I visit my brother in South Africa, I order things I've only seen in zoos. Little deers and kudu, all the mammals you would never think of eating. — Chuck Palahniuk

Portraits Photography Quotes By August Sander

Pure photography allows us to create portraits which render their subjects with absolute truth, truth both physical and psychological. That is the principal which provided my starting point, once I had said to myself that if we can create portraits of subjects that are true, we thereby in effect create a mirror of the times in which those subjects live. — August Sander

Portraits Photography Quotes By Richard Avedon

A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth. — Richard Avedon

Portraits Photography Quotes By Richard Avedon

A portrait photographer depends upon another person to complete his picture. The subject imagined, which in a sense is me, must be discovered in someone else willing to take part in a fiction he cannot possibly know about. — Richard Avedon

Portraits Photography Quotes By Victor Skrebneski

Portraits are the most intimate photographs. The image will survive the subject. — Victor Skrebneski

Portraits Photography Quotes By Max Gladstone

So you assume we go around painting ourselves with pitch and swooping from rooftops to devour innocents, and call ourselves things like Shale Swiftwing, Beloved of the Goddess, Scout-in-Shadows. — Max Gladstone

Portraits Photography Quotes By Robert Adams

In a foreign country it is far from easy to study a scene at length when you know that at any minute someone may appear and ask what you are doing and that you can't answer, and you haven't many references, and you don't know the law. Neither is it easy to find and know the subjects for portraits or comfortable to make such picture when you cannot apply an anesthesia of small talk. — Robert Adams

Portraits Photography Quotes By Francis Bacon

I've had photographs taken for portraits because I very much prefer working from the photographs than from models ... I couldn't attempt to do a portrait from photographs of somebody I didn't know ... — Francis Bacon

Portraits Photography Quotes By Andrew Murray

The extent of our love to the Lord is shown by the way we obey His commands. Love does all that it can to make the loved one happy. — Andrew Murray

Portraits Photography Quotes By Jamie Wyeth

When painting portraits a lot of people say, 'Why not get a photograph of the person?' Photography is wonderful and it is an art form in itself, but ... my portrait is a culmination of elements ... a truer image of a person than just the 'click' of a snapshot. — Jamie Wyeth

Portraits Photography Quotes By Louis Fabian Bachrach Jr.

In the business of portrait photography, one must combine the artist and the craftsman. — Louis Fabian Bachrach Jr.

Portraits Photography Quotes By Edward Steichen

A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it. — Edward Steichen

Portraits Photography Quotes By Munia Khan

If we are the trees, words are our roots; and we grow as we write — Munia Khan

Portraits Photography Quotes By Joyce Tenneson

My early self-portraits appeared effortlessly and seemed like equivalents for my deeper emotions. Many critics remarked that the images had an almost other-worldly haunting presence. For me, they were simply my own reality at that point in my life. What I was trying to reveal was my inner soul in all its fragile complexity. Without knowing it, I was trying to peel back the layers that shroud and bind us all as we struggle to reveal our own authentic selves. — Joyce Tenneson

Portraits Photography Quotes By Vilmos Zsigmond

When I first came to America there still was Look Magazine and LIFE Magazine, and the photography in those magazines was amazing to look at. They had the best portraits, and their news photography. — Vilmos Zsigmond

Portraits Photography Quotes By Twiggy

I think everyone should sing - it's so good for you, as it makes you breathe deeply, and it's good for you emotionally, too. It's a brilliant release way of lifting the spirits. — Twiggy

Portraits Photography Quotes By Julius Shulman

And I was very successful at baby photography ... Strange isn't it? Because some of my portraits of babies were - I used dramatic lighting, shadow lighting, and I didn't use flash. We didn't have flash in those days, we just had floodlights, and I was photographing babies as I would an object - an inanimate object, for that matter. — Julius Shulman

Portraits Photography Quotes By Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Photography freed painting from a lot of tiresome chores, starting with family portraits. — Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Portraits Photography Quotes By Abraham Lincoln

There are no bad pictures; that's just how your face looks sometimes. — Abraham Lincoln

Portraits Photography Quotes By Yousuf Karsh

If it's a likeness, alone, it's not a success. If, through my portraits, you can come to know the subjects more meaningfully, if it synthesizes your feelings toward someone whose work has imprinted itself on your mind
if you see a photograph and say, 'Yes, this is the person,' with a little new insight
that is a beautiful experience. — Yousuf Karsh

Portraits Photography Quotes By Henri Cartier-Bresson

It seems dangerous to be a portrait artist who does commissions for clients because everyone wants to be flattered, so they pose in such a way that there's nothing left of truth. — Henri Cartier-Bresson

Portraits Photography Quotes By Richard Avedon

When you pose for a photograph, it's behind a smile that isn't yours. You are angry and hungry and alive. What I value in you is that intensity. I want to make portraits as intense as people. — Richard Avedon

Portraits Photography Quotes By Thomas Love Peacock

The highest wisdom and the highest genius have been invariably accompanied with cheerfulness. We have sufficient proofs on record that Shakespeare and Socrates were the most festive companions. — Thomas Love Peacock

Portraits Photography Quotes By Richard Adams

That wasn't why they destroyed the warren. It was just because we were in their way. They killed us to suit themselves. — Richard Adams
