Celebrate With The Photographers: Happy World Photography Day by deturla: 11:54am On Aug 19, 2017
As a photographer and a photo-blogger, I want to wish all the 'TOGs everywhere in the world a happy photography day 2017.

See below some of my favourite photography quotes

My top 10 photography quotes for you to wish you a happy photography day 2017

1 “It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.” – Alfred Eisenstaedt ( German photographer)

2 “Photographs open doors into the past, but they also allow a look into the future.” – Sally Mann

Sally Mann is a popular American photographer whose abstract, black and white photographs cover a lot of amazing subjects on landscapes and portraits.

3 “The best images are the ones that retain their strength and impact over the years, regardless of the number of times they are viewed.”- Anne Geddes ( Baby photographer)

4 A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.” – Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus was a documentary photographer popular for taking splitting images of marginalized people.

5 “Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” – Don McCullin

Don McCullin is a documentary photographer known for his lifestyle, war and documentary images.

6 “There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.” – Ernst Haas

Ernst was a photo-journalist, one of the first photographers to use colour in his pictures. He also became president of Magnum photos, a top publisher of one of the most amazing photography books.

7 “If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.” – Eve Arnold

Eve was an award winning photojournalist who published 12 photography books in her career as a photojournalist.

8 “My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.” – Helmut Newton

9 “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson

10 “To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson

Regarded as one of the best photographer of all time, Henri brought up the term ‘the decisive moment’ in photography.
