Diversity?

These portraits, though not cohesive as a series, are about capturing and documenting exceptional individuals in special moments, neither in the classic studio/posed portraits category, nor in the candid portraits category where the subjects are totally unaware of the camera. The best way to put it is to quote NGA photography curator Anna O’Hehir, speaking about photographs of Diane Arbus: “It’s about our profound humanity, getting through life as best we can despite the difficulties, despite or because of our flaws and frailties, our vulnerabilities.”
