When you have a memory like mine though you wonder how much you will remember when you have someone looking back at you saying " Ok , what do you want me to do ?" !
portrait photography is really hard to master

You can follow every single rule.. and capture a technically perfect but super boring photo
or you can break every single rule and make a technically awful but awesome photo


but still, it's important to learn all the rules first... then you can starting to break them all LOL

I agree to a certain extent . Some pictures are plain boring compared to a spontaneous capture - but when you are actually posing someone it is good to know why something just doesn't look right to you afterwards .
oh yeah exactly. i agree
