american-photographer angles avoid certain evidence original people shoot
Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that. I don't shoot that any more.
people photograph transactions
The transactions between me and the people that I photograph are very, very collaborative.
ambition interesting people
That's my ambition: that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is.
beautiful thinking people
Some of the people that I photographed as sticks became much more voluptuous, much rounder, in some cases dramatically so, and I think they're even more beautiful.
two people information
No two people take on the information of being admirable and being admired in the same way.
thinking people body
I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body. Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that.
ifs-and people messages
I've had to relearn how I work with people so that if and when I do avoid different things I don't send any messages in doing so.
taken people photograph
All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.
beach thinking people
I'll go to do a shoot, I'll spend five or six hours at the beach with people, and when people think I'm all out of film, then they really relax and I get my good pictures.
two people photograph
I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same.
people needs minorities
A virulent, aggressive minority has decided that Americans don't know themselves what it is they should see, and need to be protected by people who are wiser than they are, even if they are only a tiny sliver of the population.
views use toys
I use an 8 x 10 view camera. All other cameras are just toys.
taken photograph misinterpretation
There are photographs that I don't take now that I previously would have taken without any thought at all as to any misinterpretations.
media world shrinking
The world is shrinking as we see more and more of it in the media, and the more we see of the world, the smaller we are, the more aware we are of how insignificant any one of us is.
