There are two dirty words in photography, one is art, the other is good taste

I am very attracted by bad taste-it is a lot more exciting than that supposed good taste which is nothing more than a standardized way of looking at things.

The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.

Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.

I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person.

It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room.

My women are always victorious.

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.

...what I try to do is a good bad picture. I work it out very carefully, and then I do something that looks as if it went wrong.

Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.

For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing.If thought is lifeAnd strength and breathAnd the wantOf thought is deathThen am IA happy flyIf I liveOr if I die

We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision.

The amazing thing is nobody has to believe in anything all they have to do is be wiling to try.

Whenever I've chosen a song because it's clever, it's always turned out to be a mistake.

People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.

Pride never sleeps. The principle at least is always awake. An intemperate man is sometimes sober, but a proud man is never humble.

Dreams or illusions, call them what you will, they lift us from the commonplace of life to better things.

A woman's heart should be so lost in the remembrance of Allah, that a man would have to seek him first in order to find her.

My friends and I sometimes laugh at each other that there is so much maintenance of a body. I paid no attention when I was younger.

A soft answer breaks the rage, a tough answer encourage the fury.
