The client would like some 'iconic portraits' of 12 elderly people who have a story to tell - the portrait and story would be made into a calendar.
I'm not even sure what to do with the word iconic right now.. but they will be black and white portraits.
So what I'm after in a discussion would be suggestions on how to go about it...
I will practice a few lighting setups to see what I think will give the look we want, and it will be on location shooting.
I was considering whether to setup the camera on a tripod and use a remote shutter and have someone, if not me, engage with the subject to perhaps find some more emotional shots.
Perhaps there are photographers I should look up to be inspired by? Annie Leibovitz seems to do this kind of stuff I think..
any thoughts? thanks
