“大師名語” 原本是映像咖啡顯影成立之初，在首頁隨機出現的短語，供所有攝影人腦力激盪用，如今也以隨機形式出現在網站頁面尾部。特此專立一個頁面將所有收錄名語公布。

在我的觀點來看，除非你拍下了，否則你不能聲稱看到了什麼。
In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.
攝影是一種比文字更普遍的語言。
Photography is a language more universal than words.
提前知道你要尋找的是什麼，就意味著你只是在拍攝你自己的成見。

我的工作是肖像攝影師，目的就是要去引誘、玩耍和娛樂。

我總是把攝影當成一件頑皮的事情來做﹔那是我最喜歡的事情之一。

真正的照片是不需要解釋的，也不能被包含在文字當中。
A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.
照片都是精準的，但與真相無關。
All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.
活生生的人性，遠比描繪人性的影像更有價值；畢竟，影像最終往往淪為剝削的工具。
Humanity is worth more than a picture of humanity, which ultimately can serve only for exploitation.
照片是關於秘密的秘密。它說的越多，你知道越少。

我尊敬底片，我相信這樣才能得到我四周自然力的尊敬。你會說，這是迷信。但是我相信，只要稍不留意，照片就會給我開個玩笑。放入相機的每一個膠捲，都有這個危險。相片就在那裏，誰都能得到，但它不屬於任何人。我尊敬它就像尊敬大海：因為它比我大得太多了。
I use film with the utmost respect. Because I believe in the forces of willing and will-power. You can only demand respect from the energies around us if you practice respect yourself. You might think that this is a lot of bullshit, but I do practice it. Photography will screw you every time it gets a chance to screw you, every time you put a roll into the camera. Photography is there for the taking, it's all out there – but it does not belong to me. I have to respect it, because it's so much bigger than I am, it's like the sea.

You don't take a photograph, you make it.
