Nicolas Dartiailh (text to produce for this project): « Portrait is a face to face with someone I take a picture of. A contemporary portrait is a face to face with one of my contemporary I take a picture of. Then it is always a three-way relationship between the photographer, the sitter and the viewer. Contemporary or not, each paling an equal part. »
