“I am a photographer who has specialized in portrait photography. My aim is to document characters of people without any distraction from the mere face, “ writes portrait photographer Ronald D. Vogel. “The documentary itself is not about the people I shoot. This is actually not feasible and not necessary alike, because most people that view my works can not proof the “real story” behind the model. Thus I leave the viewer with nothing more than a face and a name (which is often a pseudonym). The goal I am aiming at is the “story in the mind of the viewer itself”.

By trying to craft portraits with an expressive and characteristical appearance I try to invoke a certain remembrance in the viewer’s mind. The “characteristical aspect” is actually part of yourself, the viewer, since the pictures intend to project visions of your own coinage onto my work. Or, in other words, I try to project memories of your own onto the screen to make you feel the accompanied vibe (which comes out of your own past).”
