All Good Work Has Magic

Most Portraits Are Lies. People Are Rarely What They Appear To Be, Especially In Front Of A Camera. You Might Know Me Your Entire Lifetime And Never Reveal Yourself To Me. To Interpret Wrinkles As Character Is Insult Not Insight.

I Believe In The Imagination. What I Cannot See Is Infinitely More Important Than What I Can See.

Even In The Deepest Love Relationship - When Lovers Say 'i Love You' To Each Other - We Don't Really Know What We're Saying, Because Language Isn't Equal To The Complexity Of Human Emotions.

I Still Find Doing Portraits A Terrific Challenge, But Even Though I've Done Hundreds Of Them, I've Never Stopped Questioning The Very Nature Of Portraiture Because It Deals Exclusively With Appearances. I've Never Believed People Are What They Look Like And Think It's Impossible To Really Know What People Are.

I Am Interested In The Nature Of Things. The Nature Of Something Is Quite Different From The Way It Looks.
