Sorry Steven.

I didn't mean to imply that everyone here is guilty of photophilia. And I agree that the reference photo should not always be used when asking for a critique, but sometimes the photo will be posted in the SOG photography forums, and people naturally refer back to it when they see the finished work in the critique forums.

I wonder, do you professionals allow your clients to see the reference photo again after you've painted the portrait? It seems the client is in the best position to judge the quality of the portrait without looking at a photo, and should probably not be given the opportunity to look for minor differences to nit pick over.

If anybody has suggestions for convincing people to pose for life sessions, please start a thread about it.
