PORTRAITS
Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2013 11:06 am
Many festivals now ask you to include some stills from your film, notes for the brochure ... and a portrait of yourself as the film maker. As film judges Jan and I receive similar requests for portrait pictures.
What is worse they all want portraits in a large enough size and quality to reproduce well in print.
We don't routinely take such images when we are out and about or on holiday. Yes, we appear in each other's photos but as part of a landscape or a group of people. The odd times when we have tried to pose for portraits we hate all the results.
Any hints / tips? How do you deal with such requests?
