A few months ago, on a Sunday afternoon, I accidentally started a new photography project when I snapped a portrait of a friend with my iPhone. Since that first iPhone portrait, I have photographed over 100 people with my iPhone, and my excitement for this project continues to grow (you can see some of the images on my Instagram stream as well as under the Projects section). I was in Hollywood for work last month, and I photographed my cousin’s roommate Jordan while staying with them. Jordan wrote a short story about his experience of being photographed, and I am so excited to share it with you. Please enjoy, and thank you Jordan!
On Having My Picture Taken
There are certain people that like having their picture taken. They enjoy it because they are good at it. They remember to smile and lift chins so they don’t look fat. They can look happy even if they are not happy. It is comfortable for them to hang arms over the shoulder of the person they are standing next to. When people tell them to scoot closer, they do it happily.
Neat story, great project, will you be sharing it on 365? I think there is a talent to be cultivated in order to have a good picture. Smiling of course is first on the list.
thanks for sharing - i love this guy's style of writing. Am i understanding that you are just sharing this guy's link...?...or do you have something to do with this project, @mcrt ? - it is a little unclear.....maybe it's just been a very long day today for me! lol
