That was pretty cool. I'll have to check out his Jaw video. Who would have thought you could bring up the lower lid and add that level of "coolness" to a head shot? Good stuff.

hi Joan... that was a brilliantly simple trick. Now I practice when ever I shave. (not that I fancy myself a model or anything, just practicing so that I can help my future portrait subjects look better)

(not that I fancy myself a model or anything, just practicing so that I can help my future portrait subjects look better) yes do check out the jaw videos... SHABAM!!! not as easy as the squint but a very powerful way to improve someone's looks. These little tricks transform a snap shooter into something far more capable of getting a good portrait. (A few more tricks and we'll be there)  |

When you're finished with the Squinch video, check out his Jaw video. The guy is a genius.

When you're finished with the Squinch video, check out his Jaw video. The guy is a genius. he's very formulaic when it comes to his 'head-shots' but man o' man... his formula works don't it? but also... we can learn a lot by watching how he relates with his subjects... I watched a video of Joseph Karsh working with his clients... he certainly wouldn't have put me at ease. But then we don't see the range of happy joy joy pics in Karsh's work. Maybe yucking it up with a subject doesn't work for 'serious' portraiture? |

I can imagine Karsh dealing gruffly with his clients. I heard a story relating to his famous shot of Winston Churchill where the latter is scowling. Evidently Karsh is reputed to have walked up to him and pulled his ever-present cigar out of his mouth then walked back and took the resulting image. I wonder if that is true?

|'ve passed this tip along to some friends of mine who 'freeze' when in the presence of a camera... maybe this Christmas's family photos will be different for them.
