I photograph brown faces but not grinning for the camera. I live with the families for weeks at a time and hope that my photos reflect my love and respect for them:

The only two photographers I can think of who don’t shoot smiling brown faces even though they are on location, are Phil Borges and Mark Tucker. Even people who should know better can’t do a portrait without a grinning subject.I’d put Dick Avedon on my ‘few smiles’ list, but he is no longer shooting portraits.JanOn Mar 22, 2013, at 1:10 PM, karl shah-jenner wrote:From: "Jan Faul" <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx>

One of my objections to photographers shooting the locals while traveling is that there is a preponderance of smiling faces aimed at the camera while we as viewers do not know if they are smiling because the photographer has just given them $50, promised them a trip to Disneyland, or other inducement to smile. I dislike portfolios of brown-skinned foreigners smiling at the cameras it reeks of everything bad about Yuppies.
