All the Unedited Photos from a Portrait Session in One Minute

Here’s an interesting way to provide a behind-the-scenes look at how a portrait shoot was done.

It’d be fun to see this kind of unedited photo time-lapse for other kinds of photography as well, whether it’s wedding photography or a photojournalism project. It’s like seeing the all of the frames on a contact sheet at high speeds, revealing how the images were birthed.
