Formal Portraits Gallery
If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer. -Eve Arnold |
That the outer man is a picture of the inner, and the face an expression and revelation of the whole character Arthur Schopenhauer |

The thing that’s fascinating about portraiture is that nobody is alike. -Imogen Cunningham |
If it's a likeness, alone, it's not a success. If, through my portraits, you can come to know the subjects more meaningfully, if it synthesizes your feelings toward someone whose work has imprinted itself on your mind--if you see a photograph and say, 'Yes, this is the person,' with a little new insight--that is a beautiful experience. -Yousuf Karsh |
