Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Eroticism category:
A good nude photograph can be erotic, but certainly not sentimental or pornographic. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Instinct category:
Only the photographer knows the effect he wants... by instinct, grounded in experience, what subjects are enhanced by hard or soft, light or dark treatment. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Nudes category:
When I began to photograph nudes, I let myself be guided by this camera, and instead of photographing what I saw, I photographed what the camera was seeing. I interfered very little, and the lens produced anatomical images and shapes which my eyes had never observed. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Perception category:
It is part of the photographer's job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveler who enters a strange country. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Photography category:
A photographer must be prepared to catch and hold on to those elements which give distinction to the subject or lend it atmosphere. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Portraiture category:
A good portrait ought to tell something of the subject's past and suggest something of his future. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Rules category:
I am not interested in rules and conventions... photography is not a sport. If I think a picture will look better brilliantly lit, I use lights, or even flash. It is the result that counts, no matter how it was achieved. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Subject category:
When I have seen or sensed... the atmosphere of my subject, I... lay emphasis on one aspect of my subject and can thus most effectively arrest the spectator's attention and induce... an emotional response... (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Temperament category:
-b.1904 d.1983...
By temperament I am not unduly excitable and certainly not trigger-happy. I think twice before I shoot and very often do not shoot at all. By professional standards I do not waste a lot of film; but by the standards of many of my colleagues I probably miss quite a few of my opportunities. Still, the things I am after are not in a hurry as a rule. I am a photographer of London. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
Bill Brandt, photographer - From the Wonder category:
Seeing the life around, clearly and vividly, as something that is exciting in its own right, is an innate gift, varying in intensity with the individual's temperament and environment. (Bill Brandt, photographer)
