When photographing the Dalai Lama, you have to remain calm, centered and want for nothing. He’s very sensitive to this. I leaned forward and asked politely, with praying hands, if he would let me take his portrait in the other room. He smiled, stood up, took the reporter’s hand in a fatherly way and walked toward my setup.
Genaro Molina on photographing The Dalai Lama. For a few days last week, Los Angeles Times' Framework section offered photographer's thoughts on some of their subjects. Start here and when done, click "Previous Post" to see the others.
My favorite ? Jerry Lee Lewis poking playfully at the photographer's crouch. “Oh, is that distracting? What, can’t you concentrate! ?"
