The Talks interview

Interview0 Comments

Lacombe gives an interview to The Talks. She discusses what influences her portraits and when she knows she has taken a good portrait.

Yes. Mostly you know when you have caught the moment. Sometimes I feel like I did not do well enough. It then becomes really hard to live with yourself, because you feel you could have done better. But often, as you live with the images, you realize that there is a moment in them and you overlooked it because of some tension or agitation you had with yourself at the time. But mostly you recognize it when it’s there.
