Posing in front of a camera can be awkward as it requires a certain level of vulnerability to get “the right shot.” You need someone behind the lens that is, or feels like, an old friend. Look no further than Sophie Elgort. Her new PBS All Arts series, Portrait Mode with Sophie Elgort, explores how she approaches her subjects—capturing not just a visual portrait but also an oral one, through intimate conversation. This season features musician Nile Rodgers, EGOT winner Rita Moreno, photographer Arthur Elgort (Sophie’s dad), and American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Skylar Brandt. —Gracie Weiner
