Richard Dumas | Portraits
“[I am a] photographer rather than portraitist. To be able to be a portraitist one must be a photographer and I do not just take portraits, I also do other forms of photography as well.”

“Antonioni was one of my masters, I wanted so badly to make a portrait of him. It was a matter of life and death. After many years, I finally made an appointment with him. It was a delicate set-up because he had become partially paralyzed. But I finally succeeded, with the help of his wife. The shooting was one of the most emotional of my entire life.”
Michelangelo Antonioni, 2002 @ Richard Dumas
