”Many photographers feel their client is the subject. My client is a woman in Kansas who reads Vogue. I’m trying to intrigue, stimulate, feed her. My responsibility is to the reader. The severe portrait that is not the greatest joy in the world to the subject may be enormously interesting to the reader.” – Irving Penn
The worst thing you can do as a photographer is to bore your viewer. You want to create images that excite, interest, and stimulate your viewer.
