Every now and then I create my own portraits.  I do it so I can remember what it feels like to be uncomfortable and a bit exposed.  It allows me to better relate to my clients who, very often feel uncomfortable and exposed.

But I'm taking it a little further.  As a follow-up to a number of my clients and guests I've put myself in the position to answer my own question: How do I want to be seen?

That's what this episode is.

At the end one of my clients shares her experience being photographed and honestly talks about her own resistance.  I hope this gives you a glimpse into why this question is important to me in both this podcast as well as my portrait work.  And at least as importantly, I hope you get a feel for how much I cherish the privilege of creating portraits for my clients.

This is a link to  a gallery of a few clients who have shown that breaking the rules of traditional portraits, even for head shots and personal branding just makes sense.  If you aren’t a traditional kind of person, why be seen in a traditional way? Whether you're quiet, outgoing, creative, stoic, be seen as you are. 

How do you want to be seen?
