Thorniest Whisper
TPF Noob!
Another from the Poetress series.
The best part about shooting this subject was that she had always hated being photographed. We "1 hour'd" the film and on our way to pick up the prints I suggested to her, "as you look at the prints, view them as if you are seeing a stranger for the first time. You will be less critical of yourself" After sorting though the prints, she turned to me and said. I love these, and that is a huge compliment, because I have never seen a photo of myself that I've liked."
Whether my pics of her were technically good, or artistically acclaimed, I was bolstered by her compliment.
