Amazing insight! I have a subject (model), young mother of three little girls, who I have photographed before. She is coming into the studio for a follow-up shoot. My daughter, who also does my hair & MU, and I have been a little uneasy about her over enthusasim. She has been sending us images of Shakira and others who she wants to be made up like. I finally had to set her down and explain to her that we wanted to capture her...not Shakira...not Nicole (PussyCat Dolls)...her..that she was more beautiful, more of a complete woman than any celebrity.....I thought that I had overplayed my hand. Then she e-mailed me back and simply said, "Thanks....this is why you are my favorite photographer." A psychology class many years ago has helped me as much as a business class or a photography class. Thanks for putting this in perspective for me. Glad to see that you genuinely care about your subjects. Just read your article, “Is It A Lens Barrel or a Gun Barrel”. Amazing insight!
