“The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.”
Sebastião Salgado
“I’m not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it’s not an object, I work in history, I’m a storyteller.”
Sebastião Salgado
“A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.”
Annie Leibovitz
“A photograph is just a tiny slice of a subject. A piece of them in a moment. It seems presumptuous to think you can get more than that.”
Annie Leibovitz
“My interest in photography is not to capture an image I see or even have in my mind, but to explore the potential of moments I can only begin to imagine.”
Lois Greenfield

Diane Arbus
