The truth of the matter is that whenever a camera is in front of a person, no matter how short the exposure of the film, there is always the feeling in the mind of the sitter that the camera is there. My job is supposed to consist of making the shot at the most unconscious moment and to make the sitter forget a bit about the camera.

I am beginning to hate it. I've already advertised this fact widely. I am not going to photograph anybody who has money and hates his face. That's it. I'm not going to be conned into doing it because of money. I ought to be in a position where I can have a few choices. At first, I never had any choice, and I did the best I could, but believe me, I've had plenty of disappointments from people who don't like their faces.

People cannot accept themselves as they really are and that's the problem for the portrait photographer.

He said, 'I want to do a mathematical problem in my mind, and when you think I've come to the point of greatest intensity of thought, take the picture then.' I think his idea was a good one... Sometimes when people get embarrassed about being photographed I tell them to think about the nicest thing they know. I think that makes a difference. Some people don't think it does. Sometimes people think about nothing at all, and it's hard to get an interesting photograph. #ImogenCunningham #portraiture

As a document or record of personality I feel that photography isn't surpassed by any other graphic medium.

onolevole investigatole e impoltante figliatole
