To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is no unique picture of reality.
Photography does deal with 'truth' or a kind of superficial reality better than any of the other arts, but it never questions the nature of reality - it simply reproduces reality. And what good is that when the things of real value in life are invisible?
The paradox of reality is that no image is as compelling as the one which exists only in the mind's eye.
In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.
There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.
Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.
There's nothing like being shot on camera.
I never read about photography.
Photograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.
