There was a time, right up until the end of the Second World War and beyond, when white people in Europe thought that they basically owned the world and that everybody else was a sort of servant, or a curiosity,… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share
There's an awful lot of work being done that no one ever sees, or that is only seen in the gallery world. I feel… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share Image
I think it's terribly important to reach out and understand all the different types of life and the different types of challenges that are… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share Image
Photography was increasingly being seen as something outside the art world. As a sort of illustration. They just fired the director of photography at the Sunday Times Magazine - that's where everyone went with their photo essays in the '60s, '70s, and '80s. It was the place to get published. It is an issue. And I feel it. There's no… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share
There is a danger in our modern practice of using embedded journalism. As there is less and less money available for journalism to uphold its independence, there is a temptation for people to take short cuts. If this army or that army or this corporation is willing to pay for your flight or your accommodation, then it's much more difficult… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share
I think, oddly, that the world of the amateur is quite self-contained, and it depends on "likes" from other amateurs to perpetuate itself. Of course an awful lot of my colleagues are involved with Instagram - they get likes and dislikes, maybe just likes, I don't know - but I think that it's far less self-contained, the world I work… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share
The world of photography is very self-aware. Everybody is always looking around. So it's quite difficult to stand up with a megaphone and declare,… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share Image
There was a time, right up until the end of the Second World War and beyond, when white people in Europe thought that they basically owned the world and that everybody else was a sort of servant, or a curiosity, or whatever. And that informed 99 percent of the photographic practice that was done. Without being able to address that,… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share
Environmentalism is a personal thing - but it's also a planetary thing. It's about making deep connections. But it's also about recognizing the very… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share Image
After my mother died, I lived with relatives. Reading was a means of escaping into other worlds, as photography, much later, was to become. — Stuart Franklin Copy Share Image
We don't understand what photography is doing. We don't understand the power of its rhetoric. We don't understand why the Provoke photographers showed Tokyo city as a ghastly and alien city when it was really going through this period of mega-capitalist growth. It's a very, very, very powerful force, the photograph. People ask me why it has such an ability… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share
We create these walls between fact and fiction, but often the difference between the two is as little as that between a real name… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share Image
I was always interested in drawing and painting. I enrolled in college to study painting. But I didn't have any livelihood when I graduated. My mother died very young, and I didn't have any home, so I had to find a way to earn a living. It seemed to me that photography - to the great disappointment, I have to… — Stuart Franklin Copy Share
