Tina Merandon is a born portrait painter. If I had to, basically, describe his method and try to reveal his secret, I would first mention his very particular way of looking at his subject. To analyze it. To understand it. Before even picking up your camera. In these moments, you have to act quickly.

Speed ​​is the bane of the portraitist, but it is also the rule of those in power. They always have a thousand appointments to keep, a radio show, a session at the National Assembly. […]

[…] Each time I have had the chance to work with Tina Merandon, I have clearly seen this particular way she has of listening, of calming the anxieties of those who will have to stop and pose, while locating the light and the decor, this setting which must bring out their subject.

How to convey all this in a photographic portrait? Look and you will see.
