Fisher Family Portraits | Episode 310

Here Claire is consciously trying to do art photographs of the other Fishers. It was the first time that she did that, so it prefigured the later big leap, when she has her big inspiration with Russell and gets into the collage photos.

She's experimenting at school, so I thought she'd use what she knows, which is her family. She'd talk them into doing these photos. The actors --Peter and Michael and Frances-interjected their own ideas into the shots. I'd set it up: 'ok, you're here with Claire, you guys can go however you want to go with it.'
Later on, when we shot a self-portrait of Claire, we shot it kind of simple, because we wanted her to look at it and say, 'uh, this is boring,' -- and that's when she rips it up and puts the pieces on her face.
