“My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” ~Richard Avedon.
In response to this i would think that if it is true then the photographer would be setting up the sets and people in such a way that would reflect who he is instead of who the person is. it is almost like he is giving them a false identity or allowing them to steal his identity.
“You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams
I dont know whether or not i agree with this statement. i think that you actually take photographs but at the same time you might make one if you are positioning everything that is going to be taken in that specific shot.
“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.” ~John Berger
I think that this is somewhat true. Photographs are very different than paintings in the fact that they usually capture exactly what is happening at that moment time. With a picture, when everybody looks at it they might remember something different from that moment.
