For over 25 years Gordon has been photographing life in an attempt to catch the ephemeral truths of daily life. One of his principal genres is portraiture shot in the field and in the studio. His approach is to create a space where people feel free, safe and secure.
Gordon loves to explore the paradox that we are all different and the same with each breath we take. The clothing of culture, environment and history informs our differences, but we all share similar needs of security, sustenance and love. Whether it is a portrait from the Sahara or an urban portrait in Buenos Aires, there is a human look that is distinctly similar and familiar to all of us.
