Ivana hang with Ivanka...Getting it right and keeping quiet...

There are some moments that truly surprise you. And usually it occurs when you blink behind a camera. I shot Ivanka last night and knew that I wanted to capture something different so I unhooked my TTL cable and began firing away as she was preparing for a television spot. Immediately, I captured a demure and graceful Ivanka who melted my lens. We went inside and I was able to get her in the cascading sunset from the ceiling to floor windows with that same inner glow.
I bring this up because later in the evening as I was following her around for candids, I pulled her aside for a portrait (1/2 CTO, 3200 K wb for my monthly Strobist assignment) and told her how great she looked. Big Mistake. Immediately I came off as another creepy photographer and she gave me the "Yeah, it was nice hanging, but I gotta fucking GO." . And the result is as follows:
Sometimes its just better to not say a thing. This is the most boring pic of Ivanka I could ever have managed. Half cocked smile, stiff body language...Joe McNally would not be proud.
