At first, it’s always a bit of a search.
Going out together for a portrait film.
Slightly tense — for both of us.

But before you know it, you’re talking about Ajax.
Or your mother’s stewed pear recipe.

The beauty is the real connection.
Both of you trying your best.
I learn something from the person I film —
and they see again why they matter.

By the end of the day,
there’s a bond.

And a portrait.
