"My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It's being in the right place at the wrong time. That's why my favorite photographer is Ron Galella."

Andy Warhol – Andy Warhol's Exposures

"I am glad to be among The Dean’s (Galella) cavalcade of celebrities, not just for the recognition value, which I can’t deny I once pursued with a relish I am ashamed of, but also because of the education he has given me. Ron Galella’s photographs are devoid of place, but enriched by the character of fame. Fame, that hollow calling to many, encountered by few. Ron Galella has given us the true landscape of celebrity in the faces of the eminently watchable, not so mysterious victims of Narcissus’ kiss.”

Diane Keaton – The Photographs of Ron Galella

 

“I was inspired by Ron Galella’s unique off-guard style of photography and was very much inspired by this book of Studio 54 photographs, all those wonderful shots of the New York nightlife and so I wanted it to be natural lighting, inside, in the dark, with a flash. What I love about those shots is you had all of these very interesting people gathering from street culture – socialites, artists, actors, actresses, musicians – and he captured everything with his camera and flash.”
