​   Staging a portrait is literally that – putting someone on a stage to act out a role that portrays themselves. Just too aware of the camera and the attached intruder, any natural gesture gets banned behind masks that bear questionable resemblance to genuine human emotion.

​

To me, the epitome of portrait candidness is the short-lived obliviousness before the stage is set and it thrives on the imperfection of anticipating the "picture-perfect" moment.
