et voilà!

Rodolphe Simeon, the photographer we talked to in this interview, has just launched his site:
m-peoplephotography.com

Rod does both studio & street work, and some of his portraits of homeless folks are incredible. Here’s Rod talking about one of his most memorable candid street portraits:

I once photographed a man whose face was seriously deformed. When I asked him if I could take his picture, he agreed immediately. As I went from looking at him directly, to looking at him through my camera, I was overwhelmed by his absolute self-confidence. He was completely himself, completely honest and sincere. At this moment, I felt that he changed something inside me profoundly. In a way, he showed me how you can exist by just being yourself.
