A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side
of it.
— Edward Steichen
From my three weeks in Namibia—
At the risk of ticking off a lot of my peers who sell tutorials on how to pose a subject (part 2)….
In addition to Steichen’s belief it also is made in the space between subject and photographer. That is the connective tissue that make the image compelling, not just a series of still images a contortion fest. The best portraits (IMHO} are the ones where there is a comparative flow between subject and photographer. Where one pers is reacting to the other and there reacting back and so on and so on Both are leading and both are following. It is in this dance, and it is a dance, that it does not matter if the subject has four legs and a tail or two legs and arms. Iyit id in this dace that the images take themselves.
OR good luck trying pose a Leapard.
Just sayin’
I have been working on an image project for the past 21 years. The “Turning the Last Page” Project. The object is to photograph the echos of the past that are present today. My most recent trip to Namibia has started a new chapter in the project “Turning the Last Page: In the Land of Dry Water.”
I shot this with the Z6III 100-400 S Nikkor with a 1.4 extender. T Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.
