"A portrait is not merely a resemblance. As soon as an emotion or a happening is translated into photography, it ceases to be a happening and becomes an opinion. Inaccuracy does not exist in photography. All photos are accurate. None of them show the truth."

— Liza Fetissova, from the text for her exhibition, "Look Me in the Eyes: Russian Photographic Portraits"

Great to see this. I have long admired Russian photography because it has its own distinct style which greatly resonates with me.
