Hackney Portraits

I don’t feel very confident when it takes to do portraits. I am just very clumsy when telling them what to do, how to pose (or not pose). They are the ones who are supposed to feel unconfortable but it is normally me and eventually they are the ones who welcome me in their houses, make me feel relaxed and sometimes make possible an acceptable portrait.
