Elliott Erwitt Photographer Quotations

I'm not a serious photographer like many of my contemporaries. That is to say, I am serious about not being serious.

Be sure to take the lens cap off before photographing.

I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.

Ill always be an amateur photographer.

You must have a visual sense if you want to be a photographer. It is a very subtle thing, this visual business.

I am a professional photographer by trade and an amateur photographer by vocation.

If you're not a curious person, you're certainly not going to be a good photographer.

Most photographers work best alone, myself included.

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words.
