Quote a Day – Alexey Brodovitch
Spreads from "Portfolio #1" by Alexey Brodovitch, 1950
“When the novice photographer starts taking pictures, he carries his camera about and shoots everything that interests him. There comes a time when he must crystallize his ideas and set off in an particular direction. He must learn that shooting for the sake of shooting is dull and unprofitable.” – Alexey Brodovitch – Photography, February 1964 [cited in: Creative Camera February 1972, p. 472]
