It’s always fun meeting a new person, but it can be nerve-wracking to have your picture taken by someone you just met.  That was the case for Bob, one of our local city councilmen.  Luckily, Bob and I have some friends in common, and he’s a likable guy.  As a retired law enforcement professional, he’s used to dealing with all kinds of people.  And he’s got some great stories, too.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes shot from my headshot session with him.  I like the honesty inherent in a picture like this.  It’s not a portrait of a person, but of a scene.  It’s self-conscious in scope, with nothing hidden.  Just the way a real portrait should be.  (This is not the first time I’ve posted a behind-the-scenes photo from a studio portait portrait session recently, for those who are keeping score at home.)
