Don't be. You have a great deal of ability or I would not have bothered to post. I was initially really bothered that someone who is so gifted would resort to using magazine photos for a portfolio or for any other reason. If you had any classical training I apologize. But I do think porfolio work should have at the very minimum work done from one's own photos. Better yet some done from life or a combination thereof.
I went to the Boston Museum School myself and did not learn much. I do not have a degree, something I now realize you have. Very little classic training was available when I was in art school. Many if not most of the instuctors in art schools do not have this knowledge. One I taught at, the Rhode Island School of Design, was last time I looked, clueless.
You have a unique and sensitive understanding of the human face. I would like someone of your obvious talent to get some more training and knowledge before you fling yourself out on the marketplace.
Take it from an old bird who's been there, it's brutal!
I am very sure you will have a long and successful career ahead of you.
Sincerely,
Threaded Mode
