Thank you Miz, hideous maybe but they do continuously get me a few dollars a month from microstocks.   I do understand your point thought. Believe me I really want to photograph other people.  It is only recently that I have been able to provide a studio setting. I just got 4 alienbees strobe lights, one large soft box, umbrellas and stands and other items. Those self-portraits of mine were done with 2000 watts halogen lamps   and believe me, no models would have tolerated the time it took and the heat  just to get one photo right. Sometimes, in front of those halogen lights I felt like melting away like the guy in your photo. Now, it is a dream come true, it is right every time.

Thank you Hatman12 for your advice, I do plan to  approach them with caution.  My wife will be involved in screening them as well.

Thank you hatman12, yes prices are low for now. Wal Mart is 1/2  mile from my home and they have their own in-house photographer with their own studio starting at  $14.99 for family portrait.   At the moment all of my photographic revenues are from microstock which deal mostly with food, products, animals and various other items. The only people I have are myself, one of my wife and a few homeless people.  I guess, the few photos of myself was to demonstrate that I have the ability to do portraits.  But I guess for the moment, until I have more people, just a couple of me and one of my wife would suffice.  Thank you again. Denis
