Assignment 208: Location Photography: Research Theme 1: Personalities by Eve Arnold/ Magnum Photos

In this video Eve Arnold talks about her work - Eve demonstrates a great deal of respect for her models - this is particular evident in her work with Joan Crawford when she refused to publish images of Joan naked.

A common theme that comes through all of the portrait photographers that I have researched emphasise the relationship between them and their models.  It is very clear that portrait photography, good portrait photography, is about building a relationship that allows you to capture the essence of the person.
