control and chance. |


Keith Arnatt | ‘Pictures from a rubbish tip’ | 1988

‘The oddities of photography, the caught expression, things that shouldn’t be there, not knowing what will happen, which you can’t take in when you see through a viewfinder.’ |

‘If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.’|


Robin Rhode | ‘Hard Rain’ | 2008

‘I use the analytic position to adjust myself to a point so that when I enter a public context, I am able to allow my spirit to

release and to be absorbed by the particular space.’ |


Space is very important for me but in a more abstract way...Maybe to try to understand not just that we are living in a certain location, but to become aware that we are living on a planet that ‘

is going at enormous speed through the universe. For me it’s more a synonym. I read a picture not for what’s really going on there, I read it more for what is going on in our world generally.’ Bangkok IX | Andreas Gursky | 2011

‘I think something without an emotion doesn’t have a meaning.’| Willy Vanderperre | Another Magazine | Spring/Summer 2014

‘Life is always more poweful than your little disire to

control it.’ |


Wolfgang Tillmans | ‘Edinburgh builders a,b,c’ | 1987

‘I never saw really the distinction so clearly between abstraction and figuration. Like a photo...even tho it is absolutly realist, it’s also totally abstract.’ |

’I am inspired by the way small moments and capturing light can express this. I want to preserve this feeling, of

everything being so meaningless yet equally important – always changing and ending, yet renewing and everlasting.| Margaret Durrow |


‘I like people, catching their emotions on film. As long as I can make people look at my pictures, feel that

they belong, that there’s beauty everywhere.’ |


‘As most of my photographs are snapshots of my ordinary life, I think I can describe my style best as documentary.’ | Lisa Smit |

‘The worth of a picture doesn’t just belong to the man who presses the button. Photography is not about credits, there’s a lot of feeling involved.’ | Silva + Cemin |

‘I am a day dreamer and a visual thinker, so I turn to photography to communicate my feelings, thoughts, dreams and desires. I use photography to expose and document the absurdity and oddness of everyday

life. Photography for me, is almost a way to prove my very existence.’ | Ting Cheng |
