How would you handle multiple portraits?

[Mike McCarty]

Mary,

I guess its human nature to want to see things in their totality, with all the complexity we can hoist upon them. This to me would be one portrait at a time, each one approached the same way you would any other. If the early photos are good you use them, if they are not you don't. The same challenges, the same solutions, one at a time. Imagine a big wall in a museum, full of paintings, was each artist aware of the painting's final destination? Do the paintings look good on the wall? Of course there's a good chance that I still don't understand.
