Only formal portraiture that I did was years ago for the newpaper shots
that would appear in the newspapers announcing the engagement, wedding
etc. These were usually nubile sweet young things. Sharp lenses didn't
bother them, but I often wondered what the difference would be between
the various softening devices compared to purposefully defocusing the
lens a bit?
