Portraiture Quotes

The thing that’s fascinating about portraiture is that nobody is alike Picture Quote #1

I had no aspirations to become a landscape photographer at all. In fact it was portraiture that was my beginning, I suppose. I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks. But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Portraiture keeps me humble. It’s simple and straightforward. There is nothing more interesting I can make up than the figure sitting right in front of me Picture Quote #1

Ah! Portraiture, portraiture with the thought, the soul of the model in it, that is what I think must come Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in how we define things by how we choose to observe them, and how everywhere in our lives, and in every moment we experience, there are forces at work that we don’t fully understand. Couple this curiosity with a love of portraiture painting, and that’s how this project was born Picture Quote #1

O gentle sleep! My welcome breath shall hail thee midst our mortal strife, who art the very thief of life, the very portraiture of death Picture Quote #1

A form of art that I like is portraiture. I’ve been thinking about portraiture, and its relationship to writing and literature, biography and autobiography, and so that will be my next thing Picture Quote #1

One can, in principle, outline sort of a set of neural circuits that are critically involved and even identify disorders that affect different components of that neural circuit and see what happens if you knock out, for example, inability to recognize faces, how it affects your response to portraiture Picture Quote #1

We’re wired to be empathetic and to care about the needs of others, but also to be curious about others. And I think that’s just sort of in our DNA. And so portraiture is a very human act Picture Quote #1

There are cells in the brain that respond to faces. This is one of the reasons that I deal with portraiture. We can learn a lot about our perception of facial expression from the behavior of these cells Picture Quote #1
