Another figure on the chaise - if that chaise could talk - this one of my painter friend with the strong self-image. You can see how forcefully he projects it. He was almost impossible to direct.
During one shoot in particular, every time I directed him to turn his head a certain way, he would change it ever so subtly just before I snapped the shutter. It was getting more and more frustrating, as I struggled to get the image I wanted.
I finally asked him just what he thought he was doing; he smiled serenely and said, "Nothing.", but I thought I saw a little glint in his eye. I turned around and saw that there was a large framed picture hanging on the wall behind me. He was looking at his reflection in the glass and adjusting his pose.
