kevin_omura Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 <p>Most photographers seem to operate with a pane of glass between themselves and their subjects. They just can't get inside and know the subject. - <a href="http://www.photoquotes.com/showquotes.aspx?id=53&name=Smith,W.">W.

Norma Desmond Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 <p>Avedon said something about surfaces. Here, let me look it up . . .</p> <p><em>"My photographs don’t go below the surface. They don’t go below anything. They’re readings of the surface. I have great faith in surfaces. A good one is full of clues."</em></p> <p>Something I always keep in mind, even while searching for knowledge and truth and trying to get inside a subject. </p> We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!

je ne regrette rien Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 <p>I might - I might - try to understand which version I like most. It could be very well the very first version. What I find terrible is the background.<br> Say what you want, the portrait's effect is also due to the background.<br> And apparently it hasn't been fixed on post-processing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
