(camera clicking) I'm Sophie Elgort.
I am a photographer, director and storyteller.
Oh, that's really nice.
When I'm photographing people, there's always conversation.
So is this the one that is called "the Hitmaker?"
- This is "the Hitmaker."
- [Sophie] Is that the one you've written all those songs on?
- Yeah.
- I want to capture images that reveal my subject's authentic self.
Gorgeous.
That was so pretty.
When did you decide you wanted to start dancing professionally?
- When I was eight years old.
- I always learn something new.
And in this series, you can too.
What was that like, sort of pioneering in the industry?
- Well, you know, you don't know you're pioneering.
All you know is that you're out of work.
- [Sophie] Hopefully you're as excited as I am to get to know these remarkable artists.
- I said to David Bowie, "I want the first words outta your mouth to be... ♪ Let's dance ♪" ♪ - Good.
- This was sort of the original selfie, huh?
- Well, kind of.
- [Sophie] This is "Portrait Mode."
