    Re: How many takes do you do during portrait photosession?

    as an artist : one
    as a pro : 5... just in case, but most of time the good one is the first or the last one...

    but it all depends on the use of the picture... years ago, i've shoot fashion with a friend, more than 60 pics by cloth !

    I pretend to shoot 10 sheets but in fact only shoot about 2. Cinematographers call it french film and use it to warm up the sitter.

    I wonder why "french" versus "dutch". Seems like the dutch have more of a reptuation in old expressions like this -- dutch uncle, dutch treat...

    Well, we know of the trick, but prefer to call it French...
