In 2013, I had the great fortune of attending a conference by Oliviero Toscani at FID in Costa Rica. My mother and I were always huge admirers of Benetton’s fashion, largely because of the advertising campaigns Oliviero Toscani created in the 80s. 

One thing he said that really stuck with me was that he loved making portraits of everyone he met because he believed there is no ugly human being in the world.

And I think it marked me deeply because I identified so much with the master: I’m deeply interested in people’s faces and how I can get close to them by drawing the faces I see — sometimes without them even noticing.
