Can the 18-55 lens be use for portraits with the correct lighting? Does anyone has pictures using this lens only. As they say, it takes a great photography to take great pictures no matter what equipment that is used. Right?

Use F8 and make sure there's no direct line between your light and your lens and it'll be fine.
