Joan,

I only show a client those poses that I would want to paint. Out of a hundred photos I may only show 5 to a client. If they ask where are all the other photos, I say they were unworthy and they were thrown away.

I believe that if you give up artistic control to a client they will lead you down the path of ruination.
