Studio Session 3

I would love to say that I took each of my subjects into the studio 1 at a time to try out the Avedon "I killed a dog on the way over here" technique. But alas it simply wasn't practical.

Instead I engaged each in a conversation and explained that I was trying to capture emotion or reaction rather than just a still of their face and body.

That is of course only after I had told one of them the story whilst the others listened..

It turns out being an animal lover and told about ones death,even if it is just a story will quite literally wipe the smile off your face. 

 It set the tone as we continued keeping the conversation on similar theme slowly taking shots and keeping them engaged until another moment of displeasure was apparent..

I cant remember what it was that i said to get such a look,probably best not to know now.

And finally,the man that cannot be moved. Not that he is hard faced really,he just doesn't give much away and is even more cautious when in front of the camera. Of everyone who had their portraits done,I think he is the most consistently dead pan.
