“For me, taking photographs is such a tortured process. I'm always feel...” — Lynsey Addario Quote

“For me, taking photographs is such a tortured process. I'm always feeling like I'm not getting enough: I'm in the wrong place, the light isn't good, the subject's not comfortable.”

“I never went to school for photography and started when I was pretty young. I was somewhere around 12 or 13. I started photographing as a hobby and carried that hobby through high school and university.”

“I've rarely seen portrayals of photojournalists that seem accurate.”

“Some guys can run fast, some guys can sing, I found I could take photographs that people were interested in.”

“I have a vision of life, and I try to find equivalents for it in the form of photographs.”

“I know that if I were to take ugly photographs, no one would be interested in looking at them.”
