On portrait photography

Despite the popularity of cameras, portraits remain difficult to do. Portraits don't only show the person being photographed (a.k.a. the "subject") but also the attitude of the photographer towards that person. If properly done, the attitude (the viewer can infer) is usually of admiration or respect. So please, photographers: think long and hard before posting portraits that will make the people you photograph (ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE PAYING CLIENTS) subject to ridicule or seem loose and/or perverted. Choose photos that you upload well. That is a power you actually have in your hands.
