Don't hold back. How do you really feel? :) I thought it was a good start. I haven't finished looking at the entire site, but seems to go over the "basics"... Without knowing how to make a cheesy knockoff portrait where everybody looks the same, how do you know which rules to break? That's a problem I face. I don't know much about portraits. It's more trial and error to see what works and what doesn't. I'm not convinced that the posing section is so horrible. Get somebody in a decent pose, combine that with Ted's "shoot from the shadow side," and I think half the battle is won. What's wrong with this line of thinking?
