Contrast is what makes photography interesting.
I don't think of myself as a director or writer. I think of myself as a filmmaker.
There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.
My peers say I have made a difference. That means more to me than winning an Oscar.
I suppose I would still be a communicator, maybe a musician.
Manipulating shadows and tonality is like writing music or a poem.
