I think all photographers fit their vision to their personality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Anybody can be a great photographer if they zoom in enough on what they love.
Even though photographers are only shooting the outside, beauty is more about who you are as a person - the life you lead - not your facade.
The great photographers of life - like Diane Arbus and Walker Evans and Robert Frank - all must have had some special quality: a personality of nurturing and non-judgment that frees the subjects to reveal their most intimate reality. It really is what makes a great photographer, every bit as much as understanding composition and lighting.
The photographer, even in fashion and portraiture, has to have a standpoint. It's important to know what you stand for, no? Most people just take pictures, but they stand for nothing. They follow trends and don't know why.
I think the greatest photographers are the amateur photographers who do it because they love it. Arnold Newman is a good example; he is a consummate professional, but he's also an 'amateur' in the pure sense of the word.
I love it when I surprise photographers that, despite the fact that I am deaf, I am capable of meeting their vision. I love it that I can read their body language and know what they do not like and what they do like.
I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
I never think of photographs as being individual. Always as a group.
There're only a few photographers I've ever felt really comfortable with.
The majority of photographers focus on the obvious. They believe and accept what their eyes tell them, and yet eyes know nothing.
