Arno Rafael Minkkinen

Finnish born American Photographer, (1945- ) in his own words:

I consider myself to be a documentary photographer. If you see my arms coming up from under the snow, I am under the snow.

But I also look at the world through the mind. "What happens inside your mind can happen inside a camera." It is the line I wrote as a copywriter for a camera campaign before becoming a photographer. Instead of giving expression to the world's outer appearances and perplexities, I have wished to explore the inner world of our fears, hopes, and desires in an attempt to make communion with the one world we inhabit.
