Reflection:
As a potrait photographer, I found it is not easy take a portrait especially in using the light. When you are trying to get enough light, you should use the wide aperture, in that case it makes pictures look pretty intense. However, if you want to have the effect of blurring, you need to use the narrow aperture. For me, this is a bit contradictory, but I am still exploring. Since I seldom photoshop my pics, “Bright or dark?” that is a question for me. More importantly, it is good for photographers to tell their models how to make poses that they want rather than let models do it randomly. For instance, I usually want my objects look like fall in deep concentration. Literally, I took several sets of each model, and I pick only one which I love most in each group.
