A Note from Philip Bermingham about Celebrities and Your Personal Portrait:

"Although I often photograph celebrities from the artistic, business, and political worlds, I relish recording real people and documenting their relationships. Those relationships might be that of an extended or nuclear family, a marriage, or a friendship. Even in solo portraits, I aim to record a person's relationship with him or her self and with the outside world because this reflects who they really are. Knowing how you define yourself will give us many clues as to how you hope to be recorded on film. Are you a wife, a mother, a husband, a father, a brother, a sister, a successful professional, an athlete or an artist? What is most important to you? What are you committed to? The sum total of that is what I aim to record. Those questions should suggest locations, moods, groupings, etc. Take time to think about these things and I assure you the time you spend will reap ideas and satisfying results."
