It’s all in the eyes.

Well nearly all – a lot of it’s in the mouth, it has to be said.

Among the many and varied things I do, to put comestibles on the horizontal flat surface standing on four legs in the kitchen, is take photographs of actors for their entry in Spotlight.

It’s a challenge because essentially casting directors want black and white photographs of actors' heads and faces looking straight at them. So once the light is evenly distributed and the hair suitably normal, it all comes down to the expression in the eyes and the set of the mouth. It takes a long time to get it just right.
