Eve Arnold Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Eve Arnold:

I want the subject to be in control. Because they will give me something I couldn't possibly know about them.

What has changed is that when I photographed, most people that I photographed didn't have the right of refusal on their work. It would take a Marilyn Monroe at her height to be able to dictate that.

Eve Arnold

If you are careful with people, they will offer you part of themselves. That is the big secret.

What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion. Sometimes you feel blessed with curiosity, sometimes you feel cursed with it.

Eve Arnold

If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given.

Eve Arnold

I came to photography by accident.

Eve Arnold

Lesson number one: Pay attention to the intrusion of the camera.

Eve Arnold

You should never reveal your true age.

It's hard for me to assess what I brought because each time you pick up a camera and point it at a person, you're trying to define that person so to talk generally is difficult because I have to think of a given image in order to conjure up what we're talking about.

Eve Arnold

I love the idea I can go off with a single camera and a few rolls of film unencumbered... I was not interested in the illusion of reality, I wanted to get close to what was happening.

Eve Arnold

I can't hold a camera anymore.

Eve Arnold

I want the subject to be in control. Because they will give me something I couldn't possibly know about them.

Eve Arnold

I had in mind a long career.

Eve Arnold

Recording sessions were stimulating to photograph, because everything was in motion: the subject, the musicians, the technicians and the photographer. You needed fast reflexes to keep up with moving targets, and sensitivity and skill to get the pictures while keeping out of the performers' eyeline so as not to break their concentration.

Eve Arnold

I have been poor and I wanted to document poverty; I had lost a child and I was obsessed with birth; I was interested in politics and I wanted to know how it affected our lives; I am a woman and I wanted to know about women.
