  • There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

  • There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough - there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph.

    "Photographers on photography: a critical anthology". Book by Nathan Lyons, p. 66, 1966.
  • A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.

  • I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term - meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching - there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.

  • The similarity between Van Gogh, Haiku poetry, and good photography is the concern for mortality. That things are very fleeting, that there are people who are more sensitive to death than others. The threat of time is of great concern to them. And the camera is a very appropriate instrument for many.

  • [David Lean's] images stay with me forever. But what makes them memorable isn't necessarily their beauty. That's just good photography. It's the emotion behind those images that's meant the most to me over the years. It's the way David Lean can put feeling on film. The way he shows a whole landscape of the spirit. For me, that's the real geography of David Lean country. And that's why, in a David Lean movie, there's no such thing as an empty landscape.

  • If I knew how to take a good photograph, I'd do it every time.

  • You couldn't make a cheap drama. That would be too low-budget. Drama has to have good photography and well-known actors.

  • Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.

  • Good photography is not about Zone Printing or any other Ansel Adams nonsense. It's just about seeing. You either see or you don't see. The rest is academic. Photography is simply a function of noticing things. Nothing more.

  • There is 3 key things for good photography: the camera,lighting and... Photoshop

  • If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough.

    Robert Capa (1987). “Robert Capa: cuadernos de guerra en España (1936-1939).”
  • No photographer is as good as the simplest camera.

  • Good films are not made by accident, nor is good photography. You can have good things happen, on occasion, by accident that can be applied at that moment in a film, but your craft isn't structured around such things, except in beer commercials.

    Interview with John Lingan, www.splicetoday.com. January 28, 2009.
  • Good photography is unpretentious.

  • No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film.

    Robert Adams, Richard B. Woodward (2006). “Along some rivers: photographs and conversations”
  • I don't care so much anymore about 'good photography'; I am gathering evidence for history.

  • A good photograph is knowing where to stand.

    "Biography/Personal Quotes". www.imdb.com.
  • Once the amateur's naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.

  • It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

  • Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.

    "Biography/ Personal Quotes". www.imdb.com.
