This was very fun to read. I enjoyed this like a good book. Very well written. It is also smart and extremely useful information. Being a person that is always in front of the camera as opposed to taking the pictures, I can say that it really really makes you feel lame to hear “you just found out you won the lottery!!” Ugh. Spare me. I feel so embarrassed for the photographer that it’s hard for me to ever get comfortable with him/her again. So I think this is great advice for any photographer who works with human models.

Nice to see someone involving themselves in this aspect of the photography arts… It’s so easy to forget all this and go gear-crazy. Don’t we all sometimes lose contact with “the picture” we make in our heads, and concentrate too much on the technical making of the photograph?
If you want a beautiful orchid macro – nurse the plant. If you want a portrait to be beautiful – make the model happy. No lighting gear or 10000$ camera- and lens combination can ever get a picture as good as the one you have in your head – on their own…
Only a person can. You.
Dunno if the Commentary section works yet, but anyway… Good luck with the site!

Thanks for the good tips. It’s nice to get some advice on the less technical, but equally important aspects of photography. I’m looking forward to more great info!
