I would rather have a beautiful light than a beautiful model.
That is perfect Mike!

And Brenda, that's obvious that you cannot work from life with this beautiful little girl. Here are my two Cents, take at least 300 photographs, sometimes 500 are necessary, different lighting, position, expression, etc. I learned that from Nelson Shanks and I never regreted doing that.

This is his opinion about photos:

"Photographs and reality are just night and day. In reality, the information is all there. A photograph is just kind of a hint."

"...I can do more from life and get further in a hour than I can in 20 hours from photographs."

Hope it helps.
