I thought of you as a bird photographer, but I was wrong. Great work!

If you tell your cat to "stay" will it stay? Probably not! Well ... I can do it with my 2 cats!

Besides the required social skills and mastery of artificial lighting, I guess that's correct. Your modesty is admirable. Great work!

I'd be a great portrait photographer, too ... if I didn't need social skills and lighting skills.
If the subject brings his / her great social skills, it's easy enough. But, if the subject doesn't bring them along for the ride on their own, then you've got to use yours to bring it out of them.
It's one thing to be a button-pushin', image recording machine operator. It's quite another to be a good portrait photographer.
My days of SoCal Gals are long behind me (80's), but I could sure tell the difference when some models needed more social input, than others ... as the social wasn't my strong suit, and the images revealed my weak points for it.
Not sure if these are mostly models that do bring it with them, or just natural talent, or Bobby's hand at bringing it out of them ... but, as the saying goes:
It ain't always as easy as it looks. And these make it look easy ... nice set.
Don't believe me?
