Where is the result? How do I know if what you just did works the way you wanted?

I'm always amazed by critical photogs that want the public 2 believe there is some mysterious science behind photography & only a few r endowed w/ its "powers". Different techniques work 4 different ppl. Photogs r so insecure and competitive b/c they don't make any $ and any idiot today can create an image - thx 2 digital! they deserve 2b out of biz by amateurs that don't know what they r doing and give their work away. i can't wait until walmart is the only place 2 go for a portrait.

Very helpful thank you- can we see the final results please?

the difference between assembly line and your picture is better lighting. You have failed to get your model to have any expression at all. Professional portraiture should be about capturing expression first cheesy poses second.

Let's be honest, it would be almost impossible to take a bad photo of this girl. She deserves better than this.
