There’s something pure about a portrait, a continuum that stretches back to the beginning of photography. An image that tries to capture the raw and unrefined truth— the sitter and what they’re wearing and how they hold and present themselves to the world. It’s photography as the uneasy balance between performance and reality. It's how we dress and how our attitude mediates between how we see ourselves and how the world sees us, the formality of a suit and/or dress, or the informality of a hoodie and/or t-shirt that shows who we are... at that moment in time.
