Jock Sturges Thinking Quotations

Some of the people that I photographed as sticks became much more voluptuous, much rounder, in some cases dramatically so, and I think they're even more beautiful.

Before, I'd photograph anything. I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body.

But the truth is that Homo sapiens is a sensual species. I think all species are, to one degree or another.

I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body. Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that.

Virtually always I get my best pictures when everybody thinks the shoot's done.

I'll go to do a shoot, I'll spend five or six hours at the beach with people, and when people think I'm all out of film, then they really relax and I get my good pictures.

Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful.
