Kenro Izu's Bhutan Portraits

Today before work I was studying the beautiful simplicity of Kenro Izu's Bhutan portrait work. There is such beauty in his faces, such humanity, a feeling of peace, dignity and serenity. He communicates so well, the lives and humanity of his subjects. Why I can't I do that using a smaller format camera this trip? If Mr. Izu can manage such stunning work using a very difficult and heavy 14x20, why can I do similar work within the less stringent complications of a 5x7 camera? I plan on looking over his wonderful work many times before I leave. If your going to learn, learn from the best!
