There’s so many film schools, so many media courses which I actually am opposed to. Because I think it’s more important to be educated, to read, to learn things, because if you’re gonna be in the media and if you’ll have to say things, you have to know things. If you only know about cameras and ‘the media’, what’re you gonna be talking about except cameras and the media? So it’s better learning about philosophy and art and architecture [and] literature, these are the things to be concentrating on it seems to me. Then, you can fly…!

These wonderfully colourful and textured paintings are by Matt Small who records his subjects without their knowledge so as to avoid the posed, unnatural look of most portraiture.

… every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
