Bianca Jagger Quotes

Photography is a major force in explaining man to man.

Photography helps people to see.

The camera is no more an instrument of preservation, the image is.

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words.

The camera can be a machine gun, a warm kiss, a sketchbook. Shooting a camera is like saying, Yes, yes, yes. There is no maybe. All the maybes should go in the trash.

I hate cameras. I hate cameras and I hate camera phones. The camera's my worst enemy and my best friend. It's the way I convey my emotions to the world without saying a word, so I use it. People always say, 'You come alive as soon as the camera's on!'

I do love to capture beauty in this world. And photos can last the test of time.

I've always believed that photography is a way to shape human perception.

I don't click pictures. People carry a camera with them while travelling, take pictures, keep them as memories, but I don't. I don't even have a camera.

To see, and to show, is the mission now undertaken by Life.

I have always stood in awe of the camera. I recognize it for the instrument it is, part Stradivarius, part scalpel.

I just love photographing. I don't do it for anyone else.

One of the difficulties of photography is that it is much better at being explicit than at being reticent.

Talking with pictures and making memories is universally appealing.

The pictures I take are not regular selfies. I give people a sneak peek into culture and lifestyles and experiences from around the world.

I've always thought photography is not so much of an art form but a way of communicating and passing on information.

A camera must be part of me - an extra limb capable of freezing a situation without complicated preparation.

If you're a photographer, you end up being the raw creative force that allows other people to see what kind of narrative you want to be giving or what kind of art that you want people to see.

I believe that the medium of photography prevails entirely as an act of faith in the souls of those who love and practice it. And so every photograph becomes another subtle variation on the theme of the medium itself.

All photographers have to do, is find and catch the story-telling moment.

Photographers feel guilty that all they do for a living is press a button.

The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh.

Some photographs are like a Chekhov short story or a Maupassant story. They're quick things and there's a whole world in them. But one is unconscious of it while shooting.

The photograph is the most perfect picture. It does not change; it is absolute, and therefore autonomous, unconditional, devoid of style. Both in its way of informing, and in what it informs of, it is my source.

Photography is a language more universal than words.
