Faces Are The Ledgers Of Our Experience.

The Pictures Have A Reality For Me That The People Don't. It Is Through The Photographs That I Know Them.

I Am, And Forever Will Be, Devastated By The Gift Of Audrey Hepburn Before My Camera. I Cannot Lift Her To Greater Heights. She Is Already There. I Can Only Record. I Cannot Interpret Her. There Is No Going Further Than Who She Is. She Has Achieved In Herself Her Ultimate Portrait.

A Portrait Photographer Depends Upon Another Person To Complete His Picture. The Subject Imagined, Which In A Sense Is Me, Must Be Discovered In Someone Else Willing To Take Part In A Fiction He Cannot Possibly Know About.

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.

When You Pose For A Photograph, It's Behind A Smile That Isn't Yours. You Are Angry And Hungry And Alive. What I Value In You Is That Intensity. I Want To Make Portraits As Intense As People.
