This interview taken from 2000 is about Sirotas 'Guess Who?' book, what this revealed to me is that Sirota came up for the idea whilst she was well into shooting it, she often asked her sitters to mess around, do silly things to loosen them up, so by the time she came up for the book she already had 50 images ready for it. This is one of my favourite quotes from the interview it tooks about when she photographs celebrities, but I feel it could refer to shooting anyway and is another thing I will keep in mind when shooting my own images 'Being comfortable enough with each other, striking a chord, being comfortable enough to be stupid and funny together and not be judgmental. And that’s been the most wonderful experience — making people laugh.'
