Mariku looked at the other one and seemed weirded out for a moment, before he let slip a low snort of amusement.

"They really just look like that, Yuugi. As strange as it might sound... they always look like this."

What he didn't bring back into the other ones mind, was that he was in fact not a human being and thus had the doubtful advantage of simply looking however he wanted.

"Now I am interested... how long does your hair-care routine take?" He chuckled lowly. "How many hours...?"

i saw the tags on this post i made and i find this super interesting because i don't think the problem was actually that he just doesn't have enough light - it's a hindrance for street photography, sure, but a tripod and a shutter cable could solve that and you can take creative approaches to street photography to outweigh the lack of light. you can also shoot in well lit interiors, you can use faster lenses, faster film, etc. you could even pivot to a different type of photography. of course, as technology advances, this would become less of a problem and light is important in photography, but that's solvable. people have made and continue to make great photography in the dark. the pictures that turn out to not be taken by louis are mostly taken at night or inside.

partly, it's down to louis. as dreamstat says, louis is impatient and doesn't take the proper care, e.g. by cleaning his lens, framing his shot with care, taking enough film, or sticking around to try out different compositions in different conditions.

but this is something that he could train himself to do. the real problem (as the dealer points out) is that the compositions do not say much. louis doesn't have "the eye." the photograph they discuss is not good because it was shot in daylight, it's because it tells a story, there is depth to the image, the subjects are framed in a way that it lets you interpret the meaning. it's human.

however, it also goes deeper than that. louis cannot connect with humans to properly picture them or tell their stories because he's a vampire, and therefore there is no relationship that goes beyond predator and prey anymore. he is separated from humanity at this point, even if he doesn't want to realize it. he cannot (and does not) want to stick around to get to know humans, make a connection with them. he finds the idea of doing that preposterous and impossible - they're sustenance and not interesting enough for him to actually invest time and interest in them. i think he likes to think that he is interested in humanity, and that's why he tries to capture them on film, but really, the gap between him and them is too big at this point.

and then there's this excellent point that @feedingicetothedog made in this post. vampires are mimics but they cannot create. louis can recognize the story when it's in front of him in form of a picture, but he cannot recreate it in his own photography because he's no longer human.

so i don't think that, no matter the technology, louis will ever be the type of photographer he wants to be, the one that captures people and human life, its essence and its complexities and its emotions. he's not capable of that anymore because he's a vampire.

IWTV SPOILERS EP7

man, how different Claudia's transformation scene looks in Lestat's eyes... i forget that Louis is not a reliable narrator, he forgot and changes facts. Lestat also lied, but his version has much more detail

the difference of Louis POV and Lestat POV

in "she's going to be what? A lapdog?"

"a daughter?"

Lestat appears to be mocking Louis in the first scene, whereas to him he was sad, but serious, perhaps hurt by Louis leaving the house

the emotions changed even with the same lines, Sam Reid the actor you are
