And that is the difficult art - there needs to be some emotional; contact between you - a gut feeling of closeness or intimacy. Look at say, Nick Waplingtons: Living Room or The Wedding; some Gene Smith stuff; some MEM work. That kind of closeness and acceptance. (this is from a photographic point of view - from the personal point of view, it depends a lot on ones own self, how close you can get, how emotionally comfortable you are, how much of yourself you are willing to let the subject. It's not the sort of work where you can keep emotionally detached. It's probably going to cost you - it doesn't come free. Tim A
