MicrostockGroup

I'll reintroduce myself...I am about a year and a half into microstock, and love the learning experience.  I was here for a short while, and was turned off by the negative....BUT I AM BACK for the positive.  So I hope to gain great information from this site, as well as share my experiences with the masses!

welcome back

There you go, more positive than negative. Welcome back.

I added her as fav on Dreamstime. Hopefully she will be back. Portraiture is still the max, imho. I started doing it when I was 14 and my mom was my main subject. I had a lot of encouragement from her when she slapped me in the face since I over-emphasized her eye-bags it seems. 
Since then I took the advice of a famous French portraiture painter: picture the women 20 kgs slimmer and 20 years younger and their jewelry 20x fatter. 

And with a bigger chest, LOL.  My husband once painted a portrait of his brother, his wife, and their son, using a photo as the basis.  She was pretty flat-chested, so he actually went to a lot of trouble to enlarge what she had naturally.  

So what's the first thing she says when he presents this work of art, the product of weeks of effort, to them?  Thank you, perhaps?  No.  Of course it was "Why did you make my boobs look so small?!"
