“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.” ~Edward Steichen
“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
After I read the second quote, I thought about documentary film. Photo can be documentary film along with Mary Ellen Mark’s quote. When we have conversation with people who we want to take pictures, we can get more information than before chatting. When we take some pictures after conversation with model, I think it can help us take more dramatic picture with that model. This process is what documentary film usually does. Director or producer has conversation with characters to have their thoughts and information. When they have conversation each other, producer or director can get more information and they can capture more emotion scenes. Photography also can use this process to capture more attractive moment. I really agree with Mary’s quote and I realized when we know enough about somebody then we can capture some of their soul or deep inside.
