Jack Perno's statement about SAIRA'S PORTAL:
Although I’m not 100% certain, I believe that this may be the first Portal that I ever shot. I had just photographed model/actress Saira Mohan for a fashion story and told her about the Portal concept and although in it’s early stages, she was immediately interested. I hadn’t developed a sophisticated approach yet and we worked together to make a visually compelling photograph. I hadn’t ever seen anything like it before, which prompted me to pursue the possibilities of the Portal. Having never been an island of creativity, I’m often reminded that it requires the participation of others to make, not just take a photograph.
Jack Perno's statement about THE PORTAL SERIES:
A gateway from one place to another, a world, a time , or to an expanded awareness.
Each image is a story or narrative, which susceptible to multiple interpretation, encouraging the viewer to derive their own conclusion and personal meaning.
