In episode 334 of Camera Shake, commercial portrait photographer Tom Barnes joins Kersten Luts to discuss the confidence, conversation and practical judgement that help people feel at ease in front of the lens.</p><p><br></p><p>From a four-second encounter with Liam Neeson to photographing Jeremy Clarkson, Tom explains how he adapts to time pressure without losing the person in front of him. We explore reading the room, giving simple direction, using movement and reviewing portraits with people who are uncomfortable seeing themselves on screen.</p><p><br></p><p>Tom also reflects on finding his own creative direction, choosing briefs that suit his work and building a portfolio that feels like him. He shares his wireless workflow and demonstrates Show Off, the portfolio app he was developing at the time of recording.</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to Camera Shake for more conversations about photography, filmmaking and creative life.
