 What does the author mean to communicate by comparing the photographer's task to the sculptor's mission?
To me, uploading a picture that is not an easily recognizable picture of that person defeats the point, which I’m working toward, to try to express who they are. On the other hand, professional photographers usually have a subject whom they don’t know personally, so they end up having to try to capture an image that they’ve created based on who they think the person is or how they want that person to appear. The third part of the pun is that, since I’m asking for a model release from the subjects, I’m asking everyone to be much more open and giving about their image than most people typically are. In a way, giving up your image and allowing anyone to use it: it’s the ultimate gift.
 Photographers should strive to capture the essence of a person, vs. how the photographer wishes to portray them
 Photographers should strive to capture the essence of a person, vs. how the photographer wishes to portray them  Photographers should follow the path of sculptors in using more unconventional means to capture their subjects  Photographers should present more neutral, ambiguous renderings of a person in order to give the viewer a chance to participate in the art  Photographers should get to know their subjects on an intimate level, so the subjects feel more free to display their authentic selves during a session
