Portrait photographer Mark Mann has photographed a lot of celebrities in his career. But he did more than just take a photograph, he connected with them. Portraiture is about connection and telling the stories of the person you're photographing. Mark goes through some of his favorite photos and shares the stories behind them, along with the lighting set up.
