You always want to come back with an image that's interesting visually, and you hope to get something from the person you photograph that's different than other images you know of these people.
The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph.
I have a genuine philosophy. I do not want to make negative pictures about people, and so I do everything I can to help make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. That is what is going to control your picture, because you are alone if your subject is not with you. And that's the simple answer to getting a good picture.

It really just gives you a sense of when you need to have dialogue and when you don't, and if your pictures are telling the story, you don't need to have all this talking.

With photography, you are lucky if you get people to look at your pictures at some point. There's no formal way to show them.
