My New Year's resolution is to make better portraits. I was inspired by
the Thomas Struth show last summer. I read somewhere that he simply asks
his subjects to relax and look into the lens. I tried that today, but I
haven't processed the negatives yet, so I don't know if it worked. (My
partner also made many digital camera portraits of Sponge Bob Square Pants,
in the form of a lollipop which was in my stocking.) Any other suggestions
for helping people to relax and open up in front of a rather large camera?
