I follow the dislike/disapproval of the one set where the model was projecting as sensual although the exploitative comment seems unfair from my perspective. They certainly aren't family and friends portraits and they certainly are artifical and posed because that's what models do when showing clothes. That's the whole point. I did learn a lot while shooting and from here though.
