Fluid Light Design, 1947
FOR MOST PEOPLE, PHOTOGRAPHY, OR THE CAMERA, IS JUST SOMETHING THAT CAN RECORD AN EVENT, A SITUATION, OR A SCENE. AT FIRST, I TOOK PICTURES ALL OVER OF THE THINGS THAT EVERYBODY PHOTOGRAPHS. I LIKED THEM, BUT I STILL HAD THE FEELING THAT THEY WERE NOT QUITE MY OWN. SOMEBODY WITH THE SAME CAMERA AND THE SAME LIGHTING COULD HAVE TAKEN THE SAME PICTURE. BUT I WANT MY PHOTOGRAPHS TO BE MINE, I WANT TO FEEL THAT I AM THE ONE WHO SAW THEM. I THINK THAT'S WHY I WENT INTO THE KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHY I DID, BECAUSE I HAD THIS INTENSE DESIRE TO CREATE WITH LIGHT.
- CARLOTTA CORPRON, 1980
