“Attention is the beginning of devotion.” Mary Oliver

”Panas’ portraits are about relationships. Always, there is the core relationship between herself and the individual
in front of the camera. She speaks about falling in love with her subjects. She doesn’t take a picture. She embraces a person.
The people she photographs gain a new existence in that moment of transformation from flesh to photograph. What an
honor and what a gift when Panas transforms her model into a work of art. Like all great portraitists, she
does not flatter, she probes. Her pictures are often disquieting.” Gail Buckland, Photo Historian
