Now, once I feel myself observed by the lens, everything changes:
I constitute myself in the process of 'posing,'
I instantaneously make another body for myself,
I transform myself into an image.
- ROLAND BARTHES
The camera invariably captures beauty, since it exclusively reveals
the epiphenomenal and trivial, and beauty for its part is only skin deep.
- STEVEN SHAVIRO
Beauty really has a lot to do with the way a person carries it off.
When you see "beauty," it has to do with the place,
with what they're wearing, what they're standing next to,
what closet they're coming down the stairs from.
- ANDY WARHOL
