I guess I relax the talent by catching up at least once before the shoot and then also by involving them in the creative process, so they know what we are aiming at (goal identification).

Why do the portraiture of actors tend to have more bait than those of people in general? Most of us don't have symmetric faces, what should we as photographers do to make portraiture not look asymmetrically bad? Male players with a squared chest pose tends to show up their toughness but this doesn't work for a portrait of a female even for her being a player, why? How can we blurt out from a revealing portrait of a person his/her attachment belonging to a certain category from all walks of life?
Personally, I don't like Hurley's squinch. I use other techniques, but sometimes I use his squinch for certain looks. A male "Dirty Harry" look is one of them. Good for some boudoir poses, too. But I usually do not use it. But that's me.
Have you ever lookeed across a room and seen someone who looked vaguely familiar but you can't quite place where you know them from, and then realize that you're looking in a mirror?
