Start With A Style And You Are

I Always Prefer To Work In The Studio. It Isolates People From Their Environment. They Become In A Sense... Symbolic Of Themselves. I Often Feel That People Come To Me To Be Photographed As They Would Go To A Doctor Or A Fortune Teller - To Find Out How They Are.

If Each Photograph Steals A Bit Of The Soul, Isn't It Possible That I Give Up Pieces Of Mine Every Time I Take A Picture?

I See Pictures Of Myself And I Always Knew That What I Was Feeling Didn't Look Like That Guy In The Pictures.

The Way Someone Who's Being Photographed Presents Himself To The Camera, And The Effect Of The Photographer's Response On That Presence, Is What The Making Of A Portrait Is All About.

People — Running From Unhappiness, Hiding In Power — Are Locked Within Their Reputations, Ambitions, Beliefs.
