TWO
Portraits of connection
I always have loved portrait photography. I love making a personal connection with the people I photograph.
The better the connection, the better the portrait. It can be tricky trying to get a good photograph of two people at the same time. The best double portraits capture something authentic between the people in the picture. Whatever is happening between the two of them is the story.
My first published photograph, Hands, also often shown as part of my Africa series, was a double portrait, taken of a married couple living in Harrare, Zimbabwe, who invited me into their home.
The quiet affection so evident between these two people created the beauty of this photograph.
