Diane Arbus Photographer Quotations

The more specific you are, the more general it'll be.

The camera is a kind of license.

I think the most beautiful inventions are the ones you don't think of.

I'm very little drawn to photographing people that are known or even subjects that are known. They fascinate me when I've barely heard of them.

The camera is cruel, so I try to be as good as I can to make things even.

...I would never choose a subject for what it means to me. I choose a subject and then what I feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold.

For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.
