When Before the Camera.
Look as you always do. The attempt to
put on an extraordinary expression for the
occasion has spoiled many picture. The
instantaneous plate is grand thing in the
hands OF the operator of Judgment. He can
snap the shutter when he sees the natural
expression, and before his sitter has as
stunned an expression for the occasion.
This is desirable, and, to the person of good
sense, is satisfactory.
Remember, the photographer is not to
make your looks; he is to copy your looks.
He will endeavor to execute it to the best
advantage; but 1t must be as you are, and
not as you would like 1t to be.
Complaints by. women of their pictures
being :" too old" are numerous. L only
remember one where the complaint was
too young"
L cannot conclude these few words of ad-
vice to women when sitting for their
portraits better than by saying briefly;
Dress simply and becomingiy.
Act in your natural manner.
Be yourself.
Then, if the operator be a good one, you
Will get satisfactory picture. "A. Bogardus,
