“In my photographic work I'm generally attracted to places that contain memories, history, atmospheres and stories. I'm interested in the places where people have lived, worked and played. I look for traces of the past, visual fingerprints, evidence of activities - they fire my imagination and connect into my own personal experiences. Using the analogy of the theater, I would say that I like to photograph the empty stage, before or after the performance, even in between acts. I love the atmosphere of anticipation, the feeling in the air that events have happened, or will happen soon.” PeopleLooksStoriesFeelingsHappensPastImaginationMemoriesMy OwnFireHappenedAirStageEventsActivityEvidenceEmptyPerformancesTheaterPhotographerPhotographAtmosphereVisualsAnticipationMy ImaginationAnalogiesPersonal ExperiencesFingerprintsEmpty Stage Author:Michael Kenna

“I grew up in the theater, and you can't improvise Shakespeare and Ibsen. You have to speak the language. But obviously, in a contemporary film, there's often room for improvisation and spontaneous things that happen.

That's really how I build everything.” KnowsTryingLongHappensFilmSpeakLanguageRoomsAchieveGrewSceneComfortableGrew UpTheaterResponseCome UpGenuineContemporarySpontaneousImprovisationIbsen Author:Victor Garber
