Sebastião Salgado’s Advice For Young Photographers Today


“If you’re young and have the time, go and study. Study anthropology, sociology, economy, geopolitics. Study so that you’re actually able to understand what you’re photographing. What you can photograph and what you should photograph.”


— Answer to 24 year old Haoyang Zhao

“The context of digital has been woven into their daily lives. Kids don’t use the word “digital”; to them, a digital camera is just a camera. A digital book or ebook is just a book. “Can I borrow the digital camera?” has become “Can I borrow the camera?” Digital is disappearing.”

The Art of Being Remarkable – By Yann Girard

  • Do what you love; you’ll be better at it.
  • You should never ever believe me. Just try. And see.
  • There really is just one way to mastery. And it’s persistence.
  • You need to stop waiting for the time when everything works out just fine. This time will never come.
  • You’re unique.
  • If you’re trying to be perfect, you’ll be like everybody else out there.
  • Become a master at being yourself. And then build a monopoly around yourself. Create your own category. A category where nobody else fits in. That’s how you stand out. That’s how you become remarkable. That’s how to be yourself.
  • I, for myself, would rather not compete on a market with 7 billion competitors. I’d rather be myself, find my own niche, build a monopoly around myself, dominate it and then only compete with myself.
  • The easy stuff never really works, at least not in the long run.
  • There is no process one can extract and then apply to each and every person or situation. It doesn’t work that way.
  • The first and most important step on your path to finding your passion and uncovering your true self is to invest in yourself.
  • Helping people, whatever that might look like for you, is the way to really figure yourself out. Helping other people is actually the best way to help yourself.
  • Be honest. Always! No matter what.
  • There’s a fine line between following your passion and being remarkable. They are not the same. Being remarkable only starts at the intersection of doing what your passion is and what the world really wants and desperately needs.

Creative Experience – circular response

I never react to you but to you-plus-me; or to be more accurate, it is I-plus-you reacting to you-plus-me.

”I” can never influence ”you” because you have already influenced me; that is, in the very process of meeting, by the very process of meeting, we both become something different.

It begins even before we meet, in the anticipation of meeting…

Every movement we make is made up of a thousand reflex arcs and the organization of those arcs began before our birth.
