Gisela Getty revels in the creative
collaboration with the photograph's subject,
likening the process to a "love affair",
in which she seeks to reveal the "truth"
of the people portrayed.
Subject Vincent Gallo says "her photography
is beautiful. She has very good intentions
and very good ideas about what it is she does.
She's a brilliant person."
