- Jacques-Henri Lartigue

About this Quote

Jacques-Henri Lartigue's quote highlights the significance of recording a moment in time, particularly those that will never ever duplicate themselves. He thinks that pictures have the capability to freeze a moment that is 'real' - a moment that represents reality, and not something fabricated or manipulated. His words show the power of photography in maintaining memories and recording history, typically revealing feelings and stories that might have gone undetected otherwise. Lartigue's understanding of photography as a means of recording fleeting minutes is particularly important in today's hectic world, where time appears to fly by and memories are quickly forgotten.
