About PhotoQuotes


Photoquotes.com was founded by Hákon Ágústsson in 1997. We are a leading quotes site covering the wonderful world of photography, with over 10,000 quotes in our database and almost 2,000 photographers listed.

At PhotoQuotes, we share the best photography quotes as there is a lot of wisdom in quotations.

"The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated in quotations." -Benjamin Disraeli

If you’re into photography, you can get inspiration and learn a lot by reading photography quotations from the masters of photography.

Why PhotoQuotes?


At Photoquotes.com, we help photographers find the latest and greatest quotes from around the world. We are constantly working on adding more photography quotes to our database. We have collected quotations that help promote the art of photography. If you are aware of authors who deserve to be recognized here, we would appreciate sending them to us.  We try to credit all sources for the quotations we have used accurately. But we are always open to corrections or additional information about quotes or authors. 

If you (or the source) have an objection to being quoted here, or if we have strayed into any copyrighted materials, you can simply let us know, and the quotation will be adjusted or removed accordingly. 

Our goal here is to include a short biography for each source. While this takes extra effort, we think it’s essential for everyone to appreciate the contribution of each source and the time period each lived and worked. This also adds additional meaning to the quotations listed here. 

If you have information about any source (related to the birth date, death, employment, exciting anecdotes, accomplishments), you can share the details with us. Your help is needed to make Photoquotes.com the best photography quotes resource for all photographers. 

We also update the site regularly, so you can visit our site to look for new quotes, or you can subscribe to our newsletter.
