Die Geschichte der Photographie ist oft erzählt worden, jene der gewerblichen Photographie weniger. Frauengeschichte wird zunehmend öfter erzählt, im Zusammenhang mit Gewerblicher Photographie kaum.
»To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.«
»I took to photography like a duck to water. I never wanted to do anything else. Excitement about the subject is the voltage which pushes me over the mountain of drudgery necessary to produce the final photograph.« Berenice Abbott
»I love the people I photograph. I mean, they’re my friends. I’ve never met most of them or I don’t know them at all, yet through my images I live with them.« Bruce Gilden
