For me Geoff The very best of the "fashion photography" Has the look and feel of effortlessness, as if with no prep and no retouching where strobes, light modifiers, stylists and makeup artists, cameras, lenses, et al have disappeared from our attention. And you did in fact achieve just that in more than a few of your more labored efforts; too. That's what makes for the best photograph film painting sculpture poem novel dance band vocalist athlete the look of ease that comes from intense practice, concentration, and focused intention ?Easy reading is damn hard writing.? ?
