Does the photographer have the skill to shoot a variety of people?
Are there only pretty people or are there also “normal” people in their galleries. Almost anyone can take pretty pictures of pretty people. • Are the photos in focus? I see out of focus images on other photographers’ websites quite often. This may be hard to tell but if you look for it and look close (look at the eyes) you should be able to see if the images are less sharp than they could be. • Are the photos over “Photoshopped” / retouched? If so the photographer may be using Photoshop to repair the gaps in their skills. Make sure you are looking a good selection of “straight” photos. It is easy to hide technical mistakes with “artistic” effects. You may like these effects however the final print will be better is the original is better.
