ALL MY PHOTOS ARE NOW ON SALE!
At this point, the end of the session, the end of the light, it was easy to make Alex smile. She wasn't a tough one, she was into my "slightly arrogant but funny photographer" performance, we had a good time with it, the Polaroids were coming out real good, that's the key. Show 'em a good Polaroid, it's all over!
She'd seen good digital photos of herself before, of course, she'd seen decent Polaroids of herself before, but when I can pull off a real banger of a Polaroid, all warm LA sunlight and closer than anyone else gets, show 'em a photo of themselves they've never seen before, all the doors start to open up.
Figure that's a big ask of a photographer, but for me, that's the goal, every time. Not one I voice aloud, but that's the beauty of writing here, it helps me articulate my own process.
Show 'em something new, and a smile like this isn't far behind.
