Support Good picture. Thanks for the background. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:29, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I also spent a ridiculous time researching the photographer. I now know his philosophy on photographs of older individuals and have read his will, and the Rhode Island Supreme Court case regarding it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:47, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What was his philosophy of photographs like? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:23, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically talking about photographing older people, he said you should get characteristic attitudes - which meant to use longer shots that showed more of the body; try to get them into comfortable positions - bringing their own chair to the photography studio or using their home was recommended over standard studio sets; think about matching their clothing to backgrounds if you are in the studio - don't photograph a farmer in a mansion background and so on; consider a longer exposure so that you get characteristic facial expressions instead of frozen ones; and don't try to retouch away all the wrinkles just to suit their vanity. Shit, I remembered a lot of that. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very good, and these all sound like good ideas. Thanks again. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:16, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd honestly love to do an article on him, but I'm not sure there's quite enough. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:56, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
