POST YOUR HEADSHOTS!

Exactly

There are several posters who routinely post the same new image across a number of threads ... headshots; children, watch them grow; 135L f/2 image samples; prime lens portraits; best bokeh, etc., etc. I usually spot the duplication and manage not to waste time and expensive download capacity on viewing them multiple times.

I think it's clutter. But I understand why posters do this, especially when the core usage of POTN for them is as a channel to promote their photography. It doesn't bother me all that much ... although I'd rather people didn't do it.

Perfectly clear, but please see what I bolded and underlined in the quote.

If repetition adds to the clutter, then clutter must exist before repetition happens.

What is the difference between a headshot and a portrait? I think there are a lot of portraits posted in this thread.

Headshots are more shoulders-up-ish.

John,
Looks like at least a fill light on this. See the tiny catchlight at about 4:00 on the pupil? Also with the natural hair light that looks like it is coming form high and behind i would also guess there is a key light subject left, camera right and about 45 deg high (other catch light)?

Great shot, I'm waiting for him to start expounding the virtues of some new tech product or medicine.
