The power of the portrait photographer

The photographers were led to believe that the guy they were photographing had a different background that wasn't true. Each photographer was led to believe something different about the guy. 

They were led to believe this so they could show a different story through each picture. 

Because of this, each photo looked completely different and made you think that they had a different identity. 

The video makes a point that the story that is being told is chosen by the person behind the camera. 

 I agree with this point because it is up to the photographer to use their creative abilities to capture the subjects personality. They are influenced by their background and can use settings and emotion to enhance the photo.
