#8 “My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” ~Richard Avedon.
I agree with this quote, I share a lot about myself through my portraits even if they are not of myself. When I am taking portraits they are usually of someone that is important in my life. Sometimes I find it hard to share, but I believe that photography lets me share a little bit more about myself through my photography.
#9 “You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams
I also believe that this is true. I don't think the process of photography is simply taking a photography. When you take a picture you take into account all the aspects from the lighting to the subject matter. You are creating your own interpretation of what you want to portray.
#10 “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
I think that photographs can capture a moment in time that we may forget. Also I do believe that photographs are interpreted differently by all people because everyone has had unique experiences. They have unique ways of thinking about things, which leads to these different meanings portrayed by a single photograph.
