Paul Ekman, American psychologist

Paul Ekman (born 1934), American psychologist, at his home studio. Ekman is a researcher of emotions and their relationship to facial expressions. His research with remote tribes has shown that many facial expressions, such as anger, fear, joy, sadness and surprise are universal to all human cultures. Ekman has also devised a method that analyses facial microexpressions. These rapid ticks and squints are not normally noticeable but can betray someone who is telling lies. Photographed in 2008

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Paul Ekman, a distinguished American psychologist, in his home studio. With an illustrious career focused on emotions and their correlation to facial expressions, Ekman's groundbreaking research has revealed that fundamental emotions like anger, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise are universally expressed across all human cultures. Notably, Ekman's work with remote tribes has shed light on the existence of subtle facial microexpressions that can betray hidden emotions or deceit. These fleeting ticks and squints often go unnoticed by most individuals but serve as crucial indicators for lie detection. Taken in 2008, this portrait showcases Ekman amidst his workspace adorned with white paper works and a computer—a testament to his dedication as a researcher and scientist. As a Caucasian male in his seventies at the time of the photograph, Ekman exudes wisdom and expertise accumulated throughout his extensive studies. His contributions to psychology extend beyond academia; he has devised methods for analyzing nonverbal communication through body language—an invaluable tool widely used today. Photographed by Science Photo Library—a renowned source for scientific imagery—this image serves as a visual homage to Paul Ekman's significant impact on emotion research and lie detection techniques. It encapsulates both the essence of his pioneering work and the tranquil environment where profound discoveries were made within the realm of human psychology.
