I have a great deal of difficulty with the anger and fear of photographic reference. I really don't care if others choose not to use it but find the world of digital info as a great aide to my portrait work. On rare occasions I have asked a subject to sit for some final touch up but otherwise shoot, compose, change heads, add backgrounds and show options to the client before the painting begins. Sitting is boring and it is sometimes difficult to not let it show.
I would not give up all the live training/study I have had and would not recommend learning to draw from photographs but find them very useful.
