“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.” |
I find this quote inspirational to the project because I am seeking to uncover the hidden depths in the people who I photograph. I want to find their true selves, their identity and what is then revealed through the lens truly excites me.
