| Successful glamour naturally depends
on beautiful models, but there is another important
factor. Successful glamour pictures depend on
assistants to keep the model happy and
entertained. George Mann was a comedy actor
on Broadway. Barry Chittem, kept the models
laughing with his line "that's what she said,
last night." It was surprising how many times he answered
models with this funny line. He became a top wedding
photographer, because he entertained the whole
wedding party. |
