Making a pretty picture, an image, is a completely different thing from acting to camera.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nowadays shots are created in post-production, on computers. It's not really photography.
It doesn't matter how beautifully a film is photographed. The acting tells your story. It's what people relate to. If you don't believe the characters, it doesn't work.
If you're an actor, you're at the mercy of a script. You've got far more control if you're the photographer.
Making pictures, for an actress, is like betting, for a gambler. Each time you make a picture you try to analyze why you won or lost.
You know, everyone says, 'Modeling and acting are so similar'... they say, 'It's so natural for models to become actresses because they use the camera.' I don't think of it in that way.
I always say I make pictures rather than take pictures.
TV-makers usually don't know much about photography.
I look at the camera as sort of a missing link between motion picture photography and still photography.
It's far better to shoot a good picture than a good-looking picture.
Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.
