“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.” – Oscar Wilde
Having been a dedicated photographer for many years, the same is true of photography. The photograph is the result of a meeting between person, subject and how the photographer was being in that moment. But mostly it is a manifestation of how that person was when they were taking the picture.
