... and Portraits

Over the years, free of any plans or briefs, I have occasionally invited people into my studio — people I felt had something to say in a portrait. In time, I realized that this may be my oldest ongoing project (perhaps since 1992) and, more importantly, my most genuine way of truly knowing others: by observing them through the photographic lens. Of course, many lovely portraits have emerged along the way, good enough to be shown here. But that was never the real goal. This has never been about making beautiful pictures but creating meaningful encounters. That is why I named this series “… and Portraits.”
