I agree with many people who have previously posted. If you have to work from photos (which I do), take your own photos of the subject. After doing a lot of research, I decided to invest in a Minolta SLR. It is well worth the money. The photos are excellent, I can choose the position, lighting, background, ect. With several roles of resource photos, I can make a flattering composite painting.
If an artist is "copying" for practice, Karin's suggestion of copying the Old Masters is a more constructive approach.
