"I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways."
-Duane Michals
I agree with this quote, a true photographer uses his/her imagination to create interesting compositions. When the picture makes the viewer feel something, those photographs are the best. Taking a picture of just a face is like taking a picture of a plain old water bottle. As soon as you tip the water bottle over and let some water spill out, just like a person's personality, that is when the magic begins. The photograph gains content.
