While I’m no professional in photography, I do have practical experience. 

It’s always been awkward to direct and photograph individuals directly, owing to my temperament. 

But there’s not enough time for me or my models to do just live sketch studies and photography is hugely beneficial when used sensibly. 

So I’ve pushed past ‘shy’.

To make it better for the models, I just ordered this Cheval mirror for my photo studio, among sensible additions planned like basic stuff for face and hair. I love Mission style decor.
