It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

  • -- David Bailey 大卫·贝利

成为一名优秀的摄影师需要很大的想象力。成为一名画家,你不需要太多的想象力,因为你可以创造东西。但在摄影中,一切都是那么平凡;在你学会看到不平凡之前,你需要仔细观察。
