When I sit, squat,lounge, lie or drape for a portrait it is extremely important that I have a rapport with the man/woman behind the camera.They can make you feel you look a million dollars when you are feeling like hell. Of course your make-up designer and hairdresser are the people who send you out in front of the camera with confidence. Shelley's the best. By now I have had so many stills sessions I feel I know what looks best instinctively. Of course it is not instinct but experience. Having seen so many photographs and shots of myself it would be very strange if I had not learned a thing or two. In the theatre,of course you play the action and it doesn't matter a damn what you look like. |
