There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment. ~ Cardinal de Retz
世上的所有一切,都有決定性瞬間。
The picture is good or not from the moment it was caught in the camera. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
照片好壞,拍攝瞬間,便已決定。
照片的好壞,在拍攝瞬間,就已經決定。
To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
對我而言,攝影就是:(要去發現「決定性瞬間」)
當你察覺,某個事件具有意義,之後幾分之一秒之內,
同時察覺,賦予事件獨特情感,巧妙安排的各個形狀。
Photography is not like painting.
There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture.
Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.
That is the moment the photographer is creative.
Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.
~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
攝影不像繪畫,當拍攝照片時,有個創造性的,不到一秒時間。
眼睛必須看到,生活本身給的,構圖以及情感。
你必須憑直覺,知道快門時機,那就是攝影師,發揮創意瞬間,
決定性的瞬間!一旦你錯過了,就永遠錯過了。
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
創作過程持續時間,僅僅簡短的一瞬間,電光一瞬的給與取,
時間剛好足夠長到,讓你的手端平相機,將轉瞬即逝的獵物,逮到你的小盒子內。
Thinking should be done beforehand and afterwards - never while actually taking a photograph. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
思考應該發生在,攝影之前或之後,而不是攝影當下。
A photograph is not an accident – it is a concept. It exists at, or before, the moment of exposure of the negative. ~ Ansel Adams
照片不是偶然,而是一次創意;
就在曝光瞬間,或是在那之前。
一張照片,不是一次偶然,而是一次創意;
創意,就在底片曝光瞬間,或是在那之前。
Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter. ~ Ansel Adams
上帝已經安排好一切,只需有人來按下快門,此時我恰巧來到現場。
One moment, one second, one push of the button.
One single movement to capture that one single frame.
An instant based on the instinct.
一瞬間, 一秒鐘,一按鈕;
僅僅一個小動作,
捕捉那一幅畫面;
直覺下的一剎那。
Photography is a calling that requires vigilance and alertness for that moment in time that only occurs once. ~ Caroline Mueller
攝影是需要警惕機敏的工作,因為重要時刻往往稍縱即逝。
I often wished I could capture and share the sudden moments of beauty that I would see all around me. ~ Caroline Mueller
但願我能捕捉並分享,周遭所見的美麗瞬間。
Photography is like a moment, an instant. You need a half-second to get the photo.
So it's good to capture people when they are themselves.
