Portraits are hard because it's never totally about how smart the photographer is or how wonderful his collection of cameras and lights might be. It's never about his incredibly clever ideas. Nope. A good portrait is always a collaboration. A sharing. A give and take. It's kind of a Zen thing to be patient enough to wait for the "stock" look to warm into an expression of trust and authentic expression.
A famous photographer once said that the secret to making a beautiful portrait is to fall in love, even just a little bit and only for the moment, with the person in front of your camera. I'll go with that.
This is just a random collection I found in a folder. I'm assuming it's something I put together for a gallery but I don't know if we ever used it that way. That doesn't mean I like the images any less.
