Tony Ray-Jones

“I have tried to show the sadness and humour in a gentle madness that prevails in people. The situations are sometimes ambiguous and unreal, and the juxtapositions of elements seemingly unrelated, and yet the people are real. This, I hope, helps to create a feeling of fantasy. Photography can be a mirror and reflect life at is, but also I think that perhaps it is possible to walk, like Alice, through a looking-glass, and find another world with the camera.”
