A THING that YOU SEE IN MY PICTURES is that I WAS NOT AFRAID to FALL IN LOVE with THESE PEOPLE.
— ANNIE LEIBOVITZ
I WANT to ALLOW OTHERS TO REVEAL and CELEBRATE ASPECTS of THEMSELVES that ARE USUALLY HIDDEN. MY CAMERA IS a WITNESS. IT HOLDS a LIGHT UP FOR my SUBJECTS TO HELP THEM FEEL THEIR own ESSENCE, AND GIVES THEM the COURAGE TO COLLABORATE in THE RECORDING of THESE REVELATIONS.
— JOYCE TENNESON
“IT IS an ILLUSION that PHOTOS ARE MADE with THE CAMERA… THEY ARE MADE with THE EYE, HEART and HEAD.”
— HENRI CARTIER BRESSON
ABOUT HALEY
I AM ENAMORED WITH LIFE AND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. NOTHING FEELS LIKE MORE OF A BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY THAN THE LOVING CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE—WHETHER PARTNERS, FAMILY, OR FRIENDS—AND IT IS SINGLE-HANDEDLY THE FUEL THAT DRIVES ME BEHIND THE LENS.
I SEEK LIGHT IN ALL THINGS — BOTH METAPHORICALLY AND LITERALLY — AND CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY TO BE HERE ON THIS MAGICAL PLANET AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU.
PHOTOGRAPHING YOU WOULD BE AN HONOR.
