envisioning the portrait

“It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson

When working with clients/friends/family to create portraits I always try and remember that this work is not so much about technical details as it is about capturing the essence of the individual. Getting at what is behind the smile, the hair and make-up, and even the personality - to see the subject as "imago dei" - the image of God - is at the center of making portraits.
