When I take portraits of people, I can usually get them to relax—although I don’t try to make them relax. In fact, I’m as interested in someone being uncomfortable as I am in their being comfortable. There is a myth that the portrait photographer is supposed to make the subject relax, and that’s the real person. But I’m interested in whatever is going on. And I’m not that comfortable myself!
