New Galleries - Humans 1 and Humans 2

Ursula

Over the years, I've been making portraits and of course, candid photographs. The difference between the two is essentially one of collaboration. Portraits require that complicity while candid photography generally does not. Currently sometimes referred to as "street photography" candids are a staple for the photographer interested in the daily human condition. As such, the process is often only known to one of the participants.

  In both can be found irony, poignancy, and sometimes just a simple documentation of the subject. But sometimes there can be found something else that, while superficially illuminating, also penetrates deeper into the subject matter.  In illuminating other faces, other minds, we perhaps learn something of our own.

I've selected some of these portraits and divided them into two groups. The portraits are in Humans 1 and the candids are in the gallery named Humans 2.  I hope you enjoy them both.
