On second thought maybe ask your models to wear a septum ring - that's really In right now

Yeah, I probably should. I found this model for a quick shoot while going home over the last weekend; couldn't dig up a MUA in time. But even when just shooting in town... what are good indication of a worthwhile MUA? I know next to nothing about makeup. What should I look for, and expect to pay?

Free spirits are quirky - the openness of the human soul - entry-level wiccanism - no need to poo poo on it because it's outside of your regressive, uncool mind. Chill out, let the artist relax.

The artist is whoever mowed that lawn in a dope rear end pattern. Everything else is just window dressing.

Ansel here notwithstanding, this is an extremely good point. This shoot in particular was more pointless than normal even for me; I just found a model in the area I was visiting family in because I wanted to shoot. I didn't have any concept or ideas behind it, I just wanted to shoot. I figured I'd just call it practice.

The more I do this, the more I realize that photography is easy, having a reason behind it is hard. When I try to come up with something, it feels forced and fake.

I need to find more interesting people to take pictures of. Also, I need to find a more interesting person to take the photos.

As opposed to these? Don't make excuses just make less pointless photos.

hey man dont let these dweebs get u down. id say u should take a gander at your favourite photos and try to figure out what you like about them and then try to use those elements in ur work. heck even just trying to replicate your favourite pictures is a great way to grow an innate aesthetic sense and connect that to the physicality of photography

good luck goon

I'm experimenting with portrait photography after photographing animals and stuff for a while. I have managed to enlist the help of some models for a shoot in a nature reserve next weekend, I have been absorbing everything I can about posing and lighting but 2 of the models have specifically requested some shots of them together. Apart from some random finds I am finding it difficult to get any decent guides or examples of portrait style photos of 2 people together, can anyone help?

Two people should always be photographed together performing the Dillon/Dutch handshake.
