A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can.
Photographs can reveal something to us, and they can also conceal things.
A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.
There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described. I photograph to see what something will look like photographed.
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
I think a photograph, of whatever it might be - a landscape, a person - requires personal involvement. That means knowing your subject, not just snapping at what's in front of you.
It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness.
Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.
Photography seduces us into thinking we can believe photographs, whereas we can't really believe that a picture can tell us any kind of truth at all.
I really don't have any secrets. I've never met a photographer whose work I respected that had a secret because the secret lies within each and every one of us.
