Garry Winogrand Looks Quotations

I think that there isn't a photograph in the world that has any narrative ability... They do not tell stories - they show you what something looks like. To a camera.

You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.

A photograph can look any way.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed,

I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.

I don't have anything to say in any picture. My only interest in photography is to see what something looks like as a photograph. I have no preconceptions.

Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
