To look straight into a face and find the pulse of what it is to be human, that is what fuels me, that is the sum of my mind and my longing. I am always aware of our unceasing engagement with time and space- our ultimate limitations- translated into life and death.

 Robert Mapplethorpe thought was an American photographer who worked mainly out of his New York studio. He was particularly known for his controversial photographs of nude men, often black, with homoeroticism being a feature of this work. He was also well-known for his very strong portraits, female nudes and incredibly sensuous photographs of flowers.
