I never said the photos in question required no skills. I said they are good,but the true skill is when a photographer can set it up all in one shot. If you disagree with this common sense statement, you need to evaluate your whole career as a photographer. If the reason you don't understand the fact that similar portraits had been done for years in 1 shot, it DOES says a lot about your experience as a photographer and your knowledge of the technique - that's all I am saying.

I had a mentor tell me early on that arranging a group for a photo is like arranging a bouquet of flowers. The same thought and care should go into the placement of each person in the "arrangement". That thought has served me well for years since. I recoil from the "firing line" of people as if from a hot flame..
