permalinkMark Mabry, a professional photographer, was on hand for the Women for Romney kickoff. Here's his take on the event:
One could ramble endlessly about the embraceable grace with which Mrs. Romney carries herself in a crowd, but I've got a unique perspective so I'll talk about that. Today, I photographed a luncheon as part of the Women for Mitt kickoff. The festivities began and there were about 20 guests invited to be photographed with Mrs. Romney. Photographing the same person 20 times next to 20 different people is a lesson in psychology for one willing to learn it. Here's what I mean. I watched Mrs. Romney throughout the session (about 25 minutes). She is not a fake laugher or insincere on any level. I occasionally am lucky enough to photograph people with that extreme level of comfort in the person they are, but rarely does one see it in the political arena. Mrs. Romney is gracious and sympathetic and you could feel a "mom" vibe from her too. Photographically speaking, in a posed setting, she comes across consistently confident and in candid situations her sincerity is more evident. No "deer in the headlights" here. Her confidence shows in her ability to go about business not worried about a camera possibly misrepresenting her, because when you're that real, it can't.
Here's the slideshow he put together. Visit his
