No amount of toying with shades of print or with printing papers will transform a commonplace photograph into anything other than a commonplace photograph.
Bill BrandtI am not very interested in extraordinary angles. They can be effective on certain occasions, but I do not feel the necessity for them in my own work. Indeed, I feel the simplest approach can often be most effective. A subject placed squarely in the center of the frame, if attention is not distracted from it by fussy surroundings, has a simple dignity which makes it all the more impressive.

Bill BrandtI consider it essential that the photographer should do his own printing and enlarging. The final effect of the finished print depends so much on these operations.
