Normally people don’t like their own photos even of high quality. Portrait photography is the special art of flattery. Everybody has own vision of himself that can be broken by cruel frankness of digital camera vision. Image we perceive with our eyes is processed by multiple filters of our brain. People don’t like their own portraits, unless these portraits compensate lack of human filtering with blur and improvement of irregularities. I believe it is close to impossibility to earn something in portrait photography unless photographer invests fortune in his own studio light.

Don’t be always so pessimistic, Galina! Life can be beautiful sometimes.
