Philippe Halsman Quotes
With a woman I try to photograph her beauty; with a man I try to show his character. Once I photographed a man with a big nose (Jimmy Durante), and emphasized his nose, and he was very pleased with the picture. That could not happen with a woman. The most intelligent woman will reject a portrait if it doesn't flatter her.

You can come and go "Okay, you want me over here a little bit more," so no pressure on us at all that's easy to do.
