Animal Portraits

"When I was in my teens a vehement discussion raged around us photography adepts as to whether or not we were doing was an art. I had concluded that most of the time it isn’t. This conclusion is fortified when I see the hordes of spectators of whatever dig their telephones out of their pockets for snapping with machine-gun speed. But the question of how what we do is different from what figurative painters have always done has been with me from that early days." Karel van Wolferen.
