Photographer on Sitters and Expressions in Portraits
The photographer Q I de Morat complains about sitters who stiffen like ramrods and demand to be photographed in fixed poses. He notes businessmen require little effort, while women seek young, sweet looks and often fool the camera with affected expressions. He recalls a philanthropist who tried to look cheerful but appeared as a stage villain instead. He also mentions an elderly lady insisting on a young likeness and a current dodge used by ladies that hampers work.
