For the active
portrait I found a setting that made the subject feel completely at ease as it
was their natural setting where they worked. The subject was a chef and he was
cooking in a kitchen in a restaurant, which was the setting. Because I asked
him to occupy himself by continuing to cook, he soon was completely at ease;
doing something that came naturally to him. This meant I could concentrate on
trying to capture his facial expressions in his workplace. I think I managed to
do this well, although I did find the technical aspects (lighting and subject movement)
quite difficult to contend with. However, I feel I got to grips with this as
the shoot went on and I there were some natural and interesting facial
expressions in their context captured.
