“Photographers may be concerned, conceptual, confrontational, candid, casual, constructing, but what is important is that they have a point of view.” – John Loengard, Pictures under discussion by John Loengard
“Taking photographs, taking candid photographs, means that the photographer is an invisible man. Whereas there is still a feeling that in having a photograph taken there is loss of face: something of the soul is gone.” – Bruce Davidson – talking on Beautiful Beautiful, a BBC film shown on 5 October 1969 [cited in: Creative Camera February 1970, p. 41]
“My pictures are not escapes from reality, but a contemplation of reality, so that I can experience life in a deeper way.” – Bruce Davidson – 1968 [cited in: Creative Camera April 1970, p. 104]
