\nHere’s a selection of my favorite quotes by photographer Andre Kertesz<\/a>.
\n“I am an amateur and I intend to stay that way for the rest of my life.” – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cI do what I feel, that’s all, I am an ordinary photographer working for his own pleasure. That’s all I’ve ever done.\u201d – Andre Kertesz
\n“Photography is my only language.” – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cThe camera is my tool. Through it I give a reason to everything around me.\u201d – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cEverything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel it is the raison d’\u00eatre. The photograph is a fixed moment of such a raison d’\u00eatre, which lives on in itself.\u201d – Andre Kertesz
\n“I am a lucky man. I can do something with almost anything I see. Everything is still interesting to me.” – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cI can\u2019t talk about my style. It us kind of difficult for me. I don\u2019t like styles. I only like taking photos and expressing myself through them.\u201d – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cIf you want to write you should learn the alphabet. You write and write and in the end you hava a beautiful, perfect alphabet. But it isn\u2019t the alphabed that is important. The important thing is what you are writing, what you are expressing. The same thing goes for photography. Photographs can be technically perfect and even beautiful, but they have no expression.\u201d – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cTechnique isn’t important. Technique is in the blood. Events and mood are more important than good light and the happening is what is important.\u201d- Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cThe moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me, Everybody can look, but they don’t necessarily see. I never calculate or consider; I see a situation and I know that it’s right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting.\u201d- Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cI am an amateur and intend to remain one my whole life long. I attribute to photography the task of recording the real nature of things, their interior, their life. The photographer\u2019s art is a continuous discovery which requires patience and time. A photograph draws its beauty from the truth with which it\u2019s marked. For this very reason I refuse all the tricks of the trade and professional virtuosity which could make me betray my career. As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document. And that is pure photography. – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cThe most valuable things in a life are a man’s memories. And they are priceless.\u201d – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cI do not document anything, I give an interpretation.\u201d – Andre Kertesz
\n\u201cSeeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph.\u201d – Andre Kertesz
