Photographing Steve Jobs

Jobs, photographed in 1984, by Norman Seeff. One of the most famous portraits of Jobs, the "lotus position" photo wasn't something either Seeff or Jobs preconceived. "That particular moment where he sat with the mac on his lap, was not, 'Ok I am going to sit here and convene with myself as the guru,' Seeff recalls. "While he was working he got very excited and rushed off and said 'I want to show you something,' and came back, It was natural for him to sit on the floor like that, he put it on his lap. It was a one-time shot."
