>>Personally, I prefer the informal, unposed ones best.<<

 

Hi Jim,

Absolutely, because it shows the heart and warmth of the woman rather than
the facade of make-up and hair do!

Thanks, Alastair. I think that, in Donna's case, it stems from the fact that


her father had a portrait studio, and she always saw him photographing women


and girls who had their hair and makeup done as close to perfection as 

possible.  The thought of a less-than-perfect portrait does not excite her. 

Personally, I prefer the informal, unposed ones best.
