Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.

Art
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think all art is about control - the encounter between control and the uncontrollable.

Pictures
|
Nov 07, 2020

Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me.

Departments
|
Nov 07, 2020

Just advertising departments with legs and high heels.

None
|
Nov 07, 2020

All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.

Looks
|
Nov 07, 2020

A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks.

Nov 07, 2020

Camera lies all the time. It's all it does is lie, because when you choose this moment instead of this moment, when you... the moment you've made a choice, you're lying about something larger. 'Lying' is an ugly word. I don't mean lying. But any artist picks and chooses what they want to paint or write about or say. Photographers are the same.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

How many pictures have you torn up because you hate them? What ends up in your scrapbook? The pictures where you look like a good guy and a good family man, and the children look adorable - and they're screaming the next minute. I've never seen a family album of screaming people.

Feeling
|
Nov 07, 2020

I see pictures of myself and I always knew that what I was feeling didn't look like that guy in the pictures.

Faces
|
Nov 07, 2020

Faces are the ledgers of our experience.

Nov 07, 2020

Real people move, they bear with them the element of time. It is this fourth dimension of people that I try to capture in a photograph.

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am always stimulated by people. Almost never by ideas.

Picture
|
Nov 07, 2020

If each photograph steals a bit of the soul, isn't it possible that I give up pieces of mine every time I take a picture?

New
|
Nov 07, 2020

My parents put the New Yorker in my crib. I saw Vogue and Vanity Fair around the house before I could read.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can see myself as a very old man in a terrific wheelchair. Only, I won't be photographing the tree outside my window, the way Steichen did. I'll be photographing other old people.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

People - running from unhappiness, hiding in power - are locked within their reputations, ambitions, beliefs.

Confusion
|
Nov 07, 2020

People, unprotected by their roles, become isolated in beauty and intellect and illness and confusion.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I never wanted to be called an artist. I wanted to be called a photographer.

Art
|
Nov 07, 2020

Anything is an art if you do it at the level of an art.

Hope
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again.

Moment
|
Nov 07, 2020

The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion.

Eyes
|
Nov 07, 2020

I hate cameras. They interfere, they're always in the way. I wish: if I could work with my eyes alone.

Nov 07, 2020

Click! In other words, I'm in a very controlling position, and I can bring... and I've already... if the camera's on you, your face is very concentrated. You're listening. You don't know what I'm going to say next, and now you're smiling. All these things are the things I work with.

Paint
|
Nov 07, 2020

Any artist picks and chooses what they want to paint or write about or say. Photographers are the same.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

What ends up in your scrapbook? The pictures where you look like a good guy and a good family man, and the children look adorable - and they're screaming the next minute. I've never seen a family album of screaming people.

Fashion
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's always been a separation between fashion and what I call my deeper work.

Fashion
|
Nov 07, 2020

Fashion is where I make my living. I'm not knocking it; it's a pleasure to make a living that way. Then there's the deeper pleasure of doing my portraits.
