[@hikerbyday]

I think it would be interesting to see you do a photo shoot of yourself.

[@bobmay3936]

Articulate, informative and thought-provoking. Cheers!

[@craigmeyer5291]

I'm wondering if a photographer had a cartoon-like frame or two depicting the image "gap" concept in a thought-provoking humorous way may be a good conversation starter. Or maybe an interaction between Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, or some characters suitable for the Photographer's geography might be an ice-breaker.

👍👍

[@trainlens3789]

Such good information.

[@emendoz1]

As a photographer I can tell you from experience that photographing someone who is not beautiful is not as rewarding as photographing someone beautiful. Keep in mind that beauty is a perception.

[@LaurentFabry]

then what's your meaning of rewarding ? i suppose you should be more specific : money kind of reward, public reconnaissance, or self estime as a photographer ?

[@emendoz1]

I think I mentioned it in my comment. From my experience as a photographer for many decades in fashion and in Hollywood with actors and actresses I personally am more rewarded when I photograph beautiful people versus not so beautiful people. That's not to say that sometimes you come across a hideous person who photographs badly but has a great personality. @@LaurentFabry
