Oliver Halsman Rosenberg spoke about his creative family: "I come from a family of artists: Philip was my grandfather, and my grandmother Yvonne is his assistant and an excellent photographer. My mother is an artist and art teacher so it's in the DNA and I carry on a tradition of playful, mysterious and innovative art. Unfortunately, my grandfather died when I was a child, so I never got to know him for real, but I have all his photographs, letters and audiotapes, so I feel like I'm representing him correctly."

This is what Philippe Halsman wrote about his portraits: “My main The interest in life is people. A person changes throughout his life. His thoughts and moods change, his facial expression and even his features change. AND Here we come to the most important problem of the portrait. If the appearance of a person consists of an infinite number of different images, then which one we should try to capture? For me the answer has always been: that an image that most fully reveals both external and internal side. Such an image is called a portrait."
