Dwight - Comfort Zone
As much as eye contact is desired in a portrait, sometimes it's more about the individuals comfort level, and the humanity behind it.
Dwight is blind in one eye, and it is also a lazy eye. It hasn't always been this way, so I assume it is a "recent turn of events". Regardless, I can tell he was a little self-conscious about it. I asked him to look at the camera, and I noticed the moment of hesitation. I asked him to look down, and found I preferred this look anyway. I honestly found his "body language" to be, unfortunately, a more accurate representation of his true feelings.
