That might seem an odd choice for a professional photographer. The image quality of a point and shoot doesn't match the quality of my professional cameras.
Point and shoots offer different advantages. They identify me as a tourist rather than as a photographer. Strangers are more apt to pose for tourists rather than photographers.
Point and shoot cameras are ubiquitous. They don't impress. Nor do they intimidate. As a result, strangers pose with greater ease.
Portraiture isn't just about lighting and composition. Portraiture is an art of persuasion.
