a while ago i went to the SFMOMA for the Richard Avedon exhibit. his ability to capture so much of someone in a single still photograph is amazing. i decided then that i wanted to start doing portraits of my friends. i think it is cliche to talk about 'capturing someone's personality in a picture' because, duh, thats usually what you try to accomplish with a portrait, but the photograph should be able to stand on its own and speak for itself, and i think thats something more than just 'capturing personality,' rather you should be overwhelmed by a feeling...
