[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 822902, member: 53455"] Then, during the last yearly meeting of our regional team in one of the non-profit heritage organizations I work for as a [I]pro bono[/I] photographer, I was asked to take portraits of everyone (about 100 people), all in the same format and the same lighting (mug shots, really!), for an organizational chart with photographs. It was a completely new exercise for me, with very little time for each shot, a bit like cadenced assembly line work! With all the other people watching as I was shooting, it was not easy to get some of my models to relax and adopt a less rigid pose... Technically, I had little doubt that the photos would be fine, but artistically...? Have I managed to capture those people’s personality? To glimpse into their soul, for just one brief moment? I doubt it. Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor Z 85mm, ƒ/1.8 S lens. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Artificial lighting.
