Polo picture
Jeanine,
I have a suggestion for you. Many times we are put in position to work from inferior material. This often does not reflect our vision of the subject. It puts talented people in the position of producing a picture far below their skill levels. All that remains is the picture. You are not there to defend yourself.
This looks like a good potential area for future portraits. I realize that it is to be a surprise. Can't you tell these fellows that the material will hamper your efforts and you would like to shoot it yourself? Suggest the friends take you and the subject out to dinner. Have a drawing prepared from the photo. Present that at dinner and then his polo pals can tell them that they are sporting him to a portrait with Stamfords' leading portrait artist. Then you would have a really good chance to do a magnificent painting of a polo player, a great portfolio piece.
