Photo Quote Weekly Stefan Els

'Your first 10 000 photographs are your worst.' Henri Cartier-Bresson

This week I spoke to Paul Choy. He has a gift of telling the positive side of story. He has adapted the famous quote by Henri Cartier-Bresson to half a million photos when shooting on a digital camera.

“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away”. Antoine de Saint-Exupery

This week I spoke to Emma O'Brien. She is an award-winning photographer, mentor, author, philanthropist.

Her quote comes from world famous photographer, W. Eugene Smith.

“Photography is a small voice, at the best sometimes – just sometimes – one photograph or a group of them cab lure our senses into awareness…. Someone – or perhaps many – among us may be influenced to heed reason, to find a way to right that which is wrong….The rest of us may perhaps feel a greater sense of understanding and compassion for those lives are alien to our own….Photography is a small voice….It is important voice in my life, but not the only one. I believe in it.” - W. Eugene Smith,

He’s an absolute legendary photographer in the South African entertainment industry. He has photographed the who-who of SA Bands and his conceptual photography puts him in a league of his own. It’s my pleasure to talk to Andre Badenhorst in this week’s episode. One of his favorite quotes is from Ansel Adams: "You don't just take a photo, you make a photo."
