Portraits :::::
|
'Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is one they would like to show to the world,...
Very often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe.'
'In Portrait Photography there is something more profound we seek inside a person, while being painfully aware that a limitation of our medium is that the inside is recordable only in so far as it is apparent on the outside'.
Irving Penn.
For me, Penn sums up the dynamics of the relationship between subject and photographer.
I don't promise that what I create will define you as a person, but what I am offering is my vision of our encounter, and I include you in that by listening and watching and sensing your presence and capturing that 'something' of the evident, of what is within.
