With these 62 quotes on photography, I'd like to present a collection of my favourite photography quotes today.
- A good photograph is one that you look at for longer than a second. – Henri Cartier-Bresson
- Digital photography lets us not only capture memories, but also create them. – James Wayner
- I don't like landscapes. Only people and plastic flowers. – Elliott Erwitt
- Anyone who can see can also photograph. Learning to see, however, can take a long time. – Leica advertising slogan
- There are always two people involved in a picture: the photographer and the viewer. A photo is usually only looked at — rarely does anyone look into it. Twelve good photos in one year is a good crop. – Ansel Adams
- Even in the early days, when the photographer measured the exposure time himself, when the developer was meticulously mixed in the darkroom to achieve particular effects, things were being manipulated.

- I'd retouch my whole life. – Dusty Springfield
- Anyone can snap a picture. So can a machine. But not everyone can observe. Photography is art only insofar as it draws on the art of observing. Observing is an elementally poetic act. Reality, too, must be shaped if you want to make it speak. – Friedrich Dürrenmatt

- A picture gives us the feeling of holding the whole world in our hands. Photos are documents of the moment, of life, of history.
