Needless to say, I, like many, am charmed by the lights of Rembrandt in his adorable and endearing paintings. The colors of his paintings also enchant me.

It is also unnecessary to say that Rembrandt’s lights and colors are endless and inexhaustible sources of inspiration in the color photography of portraits.

I do not do portraits in studios. Therefore, I search incessantly for the portraits I do for Rembrandt’s natural light. In the street portraiture, this search is difficult and finding the conditions of light, even if approximately adequate to a good portrait, is almost insane.

But in the meantime one goes on living and learning in the art of photography with the great masters of painting.
