What i love about photography, and it's the same thing i love about acting, really, is that it forces you, like, right into the moment, where you can't be distracted, where you can't be, like, thinking about other things or ahead of yourself or behind yourself.

More From Jessica Lange

Anthropology... has always been highly dependent upon photography... as the use of still photography - and moving pictures - has become increasingly essential as a part of anthropological methods, the need for photographers with a disciplined knowledge of anthropology and for anthropologists with training in photography has increased. we expect that in the near future sophisticated training in photography will be a requirement for all anthropologists. (1962)

Photography today is accomplishing a lofty mission in which every german should collaborate by buying a camera. the german people is ahead of every other in the technical domain and, thanks to its exceptional qualities, the small camera has conquered the whole world... much is at stake here from the point of view of popular consumer goods and, furthermore, photography has a particularly important political role to play. (addressing the berlin photography fair, 1933)

I have problems with a lot of photography, particularly street photography and photojournalism - objectifying the other, finding the contempt and exoticism that you might feel within yourself or toward yourself and projecting it out to others. there can be an abusive power to photography, too.

You can’t look too far ahead. do that and you’ll lose sight of what you’re doing and stumble. i’m not saying you should focus solely on the details right in front of you, mind you. you’ve got to look ahead a bit or else you’ll bump into something. you’ve got to conform to the proper order and at the same time keep an eye out for what’s ahead. that’s critical, no matter what you’re doing.

What we're thinking about is a peaceful planet. we're not thinking about anything else. we're not thinking about any kind of power. we're not thinking about any kind of struggles. we're not thinking about revolution or war or any of that. that's not what we want. nobody wants to get hurt. nobody wants to hurt anybody. we would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life. a simple life, a good life. and think about moving the whole human race ahead a step, or a few steps.

Photography is very subjective. photography is not a document on which a report can be made. it is a subjective document. photography is a false witness, a lie.

Similar Quotes

Photography - the supreme form of travel, of tourism - is the principal modern means for enlarging the world. as a branch of art, photography's enterprise of world enlargement tends to specialize in the subjects felt to be challenging, transgressive. a photograph may be telling us: this too exists. and that. and that. (and it is all 'human.') but what are we to do with this knowledge - if indeed it is knowledge, about, say, the self, about abnormality, about ostracized or clandestine worlds?

Computer enhancement has spread to still photography in advertisements, fashion pictorials, and magazine covers, where the human figure and face are subtly elongated or remodeled at will. caricature is our ruling mode.

Contrary to the general belief about photography, you don't need bright sunlight: the best moodiest pictures are taken in the dim light of almost dusk, or of rainy days.

Ever since the 1860s when photographers travelled the american west and brought photographs of scenic wonders back to the people on the east coast of america we have had a north american tradition of landscape photography used for the environment.
