« At the age of 17, I realized that what I wanted to obtain in making portraits was to avoid the effect of pose. I wanted a dressed character to look like if he was naked ; to give the same perception of light and colours as paintings before the nineteenth century.
I like that distance between the model and the spectator becomes narrower. I like photography that does not metamorphose its subject to make it more attractive ; though I like better slighlty fuzzy time and spatial changes around my characters.
I concentrate my work on light, colour, silence and on the look that accompagny the spectator into the work without imposing anything, without brutality. I love taking pictures of people between their childhood and their age of maturity. » Margo Ovcharenko
