    Most useless 2 minutes. Not showing the lighting setup. No end results. WTF

    Awesome tips, and as a published artist myself, it all makes sense. Although so many of the people posting want to see the end result, as artists, it would help them to "see" the end result in their mind, if only they would pay attention to what you say and put their artistic visualization into practice. Nice video and thanks for the time you put into it.

  4. So where are the results of what you have just shown us? How do I even know what you showed now, looks like?

    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.

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