Every year at our office "sports" day I take portraits of the staff that attend. I wonder if they are appreciated or enjoyed as any thank you 'could just be sucking up to the boss'. This year I received the complement from one person that he was using an old photo I had taken as his facebook profile picture.

I was once told by the portraitist Gabor Szilasi that the first photo is the skill of the person having their picture taken, and it is only the subsequent ones that represent the photographer's skill. I follow his advice and take only one photo and if it doesn't work I can blame them!
