Thanks! Actually this portait was captured in a single shot!Most celebrities or people that are constantly photographed become experts at their best camera angles.I knew if I could get hs chin at a 5 of clock position it would compensate for his eye issue.As soon as he saw me raise my lens he knowingly cocked his head into the perfect position.I fired and in a single shot my job was done!BTW I find unique faces like Forest’s so much more interesting to photograph than subjects with cookie cutter classical beauty.He is one of a kind,a true original and thats what makes him so awesome!
