Most photographers would feel a certain embarrassment in admitting publicly that they carried within them a sense of wonder, yet without it they would not produce the work they do, whatever their particular field.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are photographers who don't really engage with their subject. It's a really unfortunate phrase, but they take their photo and they leave with it. It works but I think it ultimately limits how profound the work can be.
I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized.
Photographers never want to talk about the fact that they may well be in decline. It's the greatest taboo subject of all.
Without audiences, artists would be doing something else, and their creative and technical skills would fall on absent eyes.
I have mixed feelings about those sorts of things. When I see it done by interesting young people, I think it's very valid. But when established photographers, people in their forties, copy me and get a lot of money, well, I find that to be very stupid.
A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they're doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. By the time they're done, the models don't have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring, really.
Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs.
A lot of paparazzi wanted to be real photographers but they failed, and they did that instead, and it's not right; it's stalking.
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.
