When I Take A Picture I Take

I’ve Said About A Million Times That The Best Thing A Young Photographer Can Do Is To Stay Close To Home. Start With Your Friends And Family, The People Who Will Put Up With You. Discover What It Means To Be Close To Your Work, To Be Intimate With A Subject. Measure The Difference Between That And Working With Someone You Don't Know As Much About. Of Course There Are Many Good Photographs That Have Nothing To Do With Staying Close To Home, And I Guess What I'm Really Saying Is That You Should Take Pictures Of Something That Has Meaning For You

There Is A Myth That The Portrait Photographer Is Supposed To Make The Subject Relax, And That's The Real Person. But I'm Interested In Whatever Is Going On. And I'm Not That Comfortable Myself.

Coming Tight Was Boring To Me, Just The Face... It Didn't Have Enough Information.

I Am Impressed With What Happens When Someone Stays In The Same Place And You Took The Same Picture Over And Over And It Would Be Different, Every Single Frame.

You Have Trust In What You Think. If You Splinter Yourself And Try To Please Everyone, You Can't.
