Thought I'd bring this thread back to the top of the list haha.


I've picked up a few more since I got hired at a local portrait studio.


  1. Don't mention any special requests, then complain: that the subject is not looking at the camera, that you wanted all portrait oriented shots, etc.

  3. Come for a family portrait in kahki pants, and dark brown sweaters with small neon green stripes.
These all may or may not be things I've experienced.. hahaha
