If there is not connection between the sitter and photographer, and if the atmosphere is not comfortable, that moment may never arrive. I think that’s the reason we sometimes see these overly-posed, dazed images.

We’re all taught to turn our head just so, smile just so, and look straight into the camera. It’s very difficult to simply be comfortable in front of the camera being yourself.

No, it’s not one of Marti’s, but I recently had the honor of doing a photo session with her in New York. She’s a delight to work with, makes you feel comfortable and the final photos were of similar quality to this one.

Dara’s picture is lovely–she looks comfortable and sharp (why is it formal portraits so often have the subject looking kind of stoned?) and pretty. That one of Marti’s?
