An impulsive decision by Maria Via gave me the opportunity to photograph somebody who was willing but reluctant. Maria is famous as the translator of Shutter Island and Mystic River to Spanish ... no easy task. But what is fame?
The beautiful people at H2O gallery allowed us the use of their space to create some images.
The weird thing is that none of these images are what we discussed initially. When I create portraits I want to be fluid in my thinking so that I can be spontaneous and creative.
We talked about the implications of soul stealing .... but never resolved what I would do with it once I had captured it.







These are BEAUTIFUL! You have captured so much feeling, delicacy,character and nuance here, and in all your work. Very nice. You're right about the light.
