I'd call that the photojournalistic approach to portraits. Pure realistic documentation is great for medical papers and accident reports, but not so much for art.
Consider who is paying for the portrait. If it's me the photographer, I'll portray you how I damn well please. If it's the sitter, I'll attempt to portray them as they want to be seen (within reason, that I get to define). On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 8:05 AM, David Parsons <[email protected]> wrote: > Leave them.
