Zitat des Tages von Irving Penn:
Using simple equipment and daylight alone is for me a pleasure and a replenishment.
I can get obsessed by anything if I look at it long enough. That's the curse of being a photographer.
The severe portrait that is not the greatest joy in the world to the subject may be enormously interesting to the reader.
I am a professional photographer because it is the best way I know to earn the money I require to take care of my wife and children.
What I really try to do is photograph people at rest, in a state of serenity.
Liberman said to me, 'I must cut back on the work you do for Vogue. The editors don't like it. They say the photographs burn on the page . After some years, I began to understand that what they wanted of me was simply a nice, sweet, clean-looking image of a lovely young woman.
