We’ve all had the portrait shoots where one is given one to three minutes to shoot; and while they surely sharpen a photographer’s decision-making and speed of execution, I have to say that they’re not my favorites. Luckily, on one of my last portrait shoots, I had the great pleasure to photograph Prof. Dr. Jean-Yves de Cara, the Executive Director of Universite Paris-Sorbonne Abu Dhabi, who, on top of being a photogenic gentleman, had also allocated a nice chunk of time for the interview and the shoot. He patiently posed in several locations in and outside of the new Sorbonne Abu Dhabi campus, and not once had he asked if I’ve had enough pictures already. Merci beaucoup Dr. De Cara!
