The trailer is delightful! Well done.

And I think you are correct about the importance of knowing that the image pairings were made in-camera. I missed that initially but when I saw that detail in a recent post, my jaw also dropped.

I’d love to shoot the portrait of Riz Ahmed. He’s a stellar actor and I’d live to be able to capture him in studio.

What a good trailer, and short film to watch. I can relate to the relief at the end of it. My "book" is almost finished. I'm kind of happy with the result. For the next one I'll take the lessons I learned with this one and incorporate some of the advice you gave. Thank you so, so much for sharing your process.

I'd love to do a portrait session with Jodie Foster. Can't say exactly why, I just find her stunning.

Great trailer Wesley.

As to the question, I think I’d choose Jamie Lee Curtis. That seems like it would be a fun portrait session.

I'd love to shoot either Meryl Streep or Elliot Page! Both of course have such great acting skills, but i'd be interested to meet and photograph them as themselves.

I’d like to take a portrait of Tom Hanks. I’ve always enjoyed his movies and have enjoyed his books (almost finished with his first novel and enjoyed his short stories). We also both like typewriters, so perhaps it will be an environmental portrait around a few typewriters.
