“These photographs of the power structure of America – heads of unions, people in government, bankers, heads of media – are a composite portrait of the power elite, but I didn’t feel anything for most of these people, I didn’t want to pit Democrats against Republicans, or good versus bad. It’s easy for a photographer to do that. In a way these pictures were almost taken by the people in the pictures. I didn’t tell them how to pose. However they presented themselves. I recorded with very little manipulation.”
