“My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” ~Richard Avedon

The person behind the camera can change the feel of a photograph with many different trechniques. What one photographs is what one feels. Therefore, it's always more about the photographer.

 

“You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams



Photography is an art. Art is a creation. Therefore, photography is a creation.
 

“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.” ~John Berger


Photographs capture a time that will forever be history. But that history can be viewed differently from one person to the next. People can come together to from a story which has many parts.
