Artist's Comments

with Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley. This was when she was running for President. This was taken 4 blocks from where I live . . .

There was a time when I wanted to be a journalistic photographer. I have several friends who are journalistic photographers. One of the things we talk about when we're sitting around having a few beers, is that with a camera, you can make a public figure look very good or very bad. In this image, then-Senator Clinton was waving to a friend in the crowd. I wasn't trying to make her look bad . . . Maybe I'll post a nicer photo of her next time . . .

Hilary Clinton by *maxlake2
"Now this is hilarious - with all due respect! Such a good moment captured, when one of those figures we deem as almost inhuman, due to distance or position, look so much like any next-door girl... so human and normal, no wonder-woman factor. The light and colors of the photo are very nice, too!" - words by Rellaenthia

R,

I do not think this photo makes her look bad- she looks animated. She is lite up.

Nice- Really nice. Maybe you should of try to sell (photo's next time) freelance? Maybe...

She certainly looks fun!
As for "looking bad": being captured in funny postures is often used in PR to make the person's image more "common", closer to people.
Such shots show that she's also human, and subject to emotions. In case a politician reacts with a sense of humour to such things, it is commonly regarded as an obvious advantage.

So don't blame yourself, you did her a favour =)))

Lol! Okay, maybe her laughing would have looked less witch-like if the photo was made from the front side. :XD:

This is a very good photo! Makes her look very down to earth since she's waving to her friend. I like it!
