“I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.” ~Mary Ellen Mark
This quote by Mary Ellen Mark describes the amount of character captured in photographs. Media has shown time and time again that many assumptions can be taken from photographs. For example when the paparazzi capture celebrities in unflattering lights a whole list of other assumptions come with that image. Though most wont be direct and honest about taking photos Mary Ellen Mark makes an effort to respectfully photograph people to honor their desire to be seen in the light they desire.
