I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.
Imogen Cunningham...There are too many people studying it [photography] now who are never going to make it. You can't give them a formula for making it. You have to have it in you first, you don't learn it. The seeing eye is the important thing.
Imogen CunninghamI was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.
