“While shooting for the [Washington Post and Washington Star] was my day job, I began doing portraits as a hobby. I found that I had a knack for getting people to relax and forget the camera was there, allowing me to capture candid moments on film…Portraits is some of that legacy.” – Will Stanton

“I attempt in a portrait to capture aspects of a person’s inner self; to reveal characteristics of strength or vulnerability, anxiety or peacefulness, self-esteem or humility, public self-image or private inner-life.” – Charley Farrell
