People are strength, each with their own character to photograph. Tori began her picture-taking with images of people and it remains her strength too. She loves working with either groups or single subjects and prefers to seek the "human story" in the people before her lens. There is a sensitivity that comes from this kind of photography that cannot easily be documented. It requires an open heart and open mind - a lifestyle that Tori lives each day. She continues to feel enlightened by people, young or old.
