- Henry Moore (sculptor): Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality
- Ernst Haas: Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward
- Ken Rockwell: Watch out for people who prefer to talk about tools instead of actually making photos
- David LaChapelle: I shoot fantasy. If you want reality, ride the bus
- Ansel Adams: You don’t take a photograph, you make it
- Ansel Adams: Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships
- Ken Wheeler, emphasizing the “expose to the right” said: “you saturate in the camera and you expose in the computer”
- Richard Avedon : Un portrait n’est pas une ressemblance. Dès lors qu’une émotion ou qu’un fait est traduit en photo, il cesse d’être un fait pour devenir une opinion. L’inexactitude n’existe pas en photographie. Toutes les photos sont exactes. Aucune d’elles n’est la vérité
- Joe Edelman: SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera) is not a badge of honour, it is a badge of laziness, of “I don’t care”, and of “I don’t know”. Digital cameras were meant to shoot raw files. JPG are processed, finished, and compressed by software. RAW files are meant to be developed
