Fotocep Quotes

“In our time photojournalists were as important as the writers. Today not so. Photojournalism is diminishing. Now everyone is a free artist, which can only be in photography. For he is taking pictures! Releases the shutter and becomes an artist. Godsend people they are, otherwise the world was doomed. They are so significant. I fear bumping into one of these celebrities walking in the street, which would be very disrespectful indeed.”

“Photography has a huge impact. But no one looks at photographs either. Those not looking at the life itself what can they see in a photograph? I do not take photographs for people to look and be impressed. I photograph what I see. Some see. Some don't.”

“The most essential thing is love. Everything depends on it. Because everything even photography is for humans. There can never be a person devoid of love and photography devoid of people.”
― Ara Güler, Fotocep
