Amy Doerre, Presence (PEOPLE 2026)

This photo is of an amazing photographer Tony Ryan, who hosted this free headshots photography workshop. I have been attending his fitness and headshots sessions because I’ve learnt how to direct a model/person in order to connect with them in a way that captures them being in the moment. Connecting with people in everyday life is important especially to make others feel more comfortable, confident and feel a certain energy with another person. Tony Ryan believes this theory through photography, capturing the authenticity and presence of a person.
