A Camera Alone Does Not Make A Picture. To Make A Picture You Need A Camera, A Photographer And Above All A Subject. It Is The Subject That Determines The Interest Of The Photograph.

I Do Not Photograph Nature. I Photograph My Visions.

I Like Contradictions. We Have Never Attained The Infinite Variety And Contradictions That Exist In Nature. Tomorrow I Shall Contradict Myself. That Is The One Way I Have Of Asserting My Liberty, The Real Liberty One Does Not Find As A Member Of Society.

An Original Is A Creation Motivated By Desire. Any Reproduction Of An Originals Motivated Be Necessity. It Is Marvelous That We Are The Only Species That Creates Gratuitous Forms. To Create Is Divine, To Reproduce Is Human.

Is Photography An Art? There Is No Point In Trying To Find Out If It Is An Art. Art Is Old-fashioned. We Need Something Else.
