The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Antony Armstrong-Jones

  • I’m not a great one for chatting people up because it’s phoney.
  • Young photographers must experiment all the time and not be frightened of using light – freely-shooting straight into the light if need be – making an effort to get new angles on much photographed subjects, and also discovering chemical properties of film itself.
  • Photographs are things that should be pinned on a wall, and when you stop liking them – just tear them up!
  • I can tell you what I personally use a camera for. Basically, it is to record a moment. A moment that is vital to give the viewer a sensation of liveliness, sadness, joy and so on.
  • I mean, taking photographs is a very nasty thing to do. It’s very cruel.
  • I don’t have a digital camera. I don’t understand it – and I don’t want to.
  • A still photographer is a mechanic. He’s not an artist, despite all you read.
  • My job is very simply that of a photojournalist. I want to stop people’s eye on the page, I want to move the viewer to laughter, to sadness, sometimes to wince – not to impress other photographers.
  • A camera must be part of me – an extra limb capable of freezing a situation without complicated preparation.
  • I love Russian faces. The only difference between them is beautiful and more beautiful.

Throughout his career, Snowdon worked with leading magazines and produced portraits of many famous personalities, including members of the royal family. He was also known for his work in design and for advocating accessibility for people with disabilities.
