Boudoir and Porn on the DWF |
 The
DWF has a very popular PRO Boudoir Forum. So what IS
boudoir, and when does it become soft core porn?Given some recent complaints, do we need nudity guidelines
on the DWF? We want you to help guide us. We ask all
DWF PRO members to help us define what belongs in a forum for
professional portrait and wedding photographers.

Family Portraits. Frustrating or Fascinating? |
 Ever
try to get 10 screaming kids to stop squirming and 6
adults who haven't gotten along since the 'incident' at
the family vacation in '85 to smile at the same time?
Some photographers love it, some would rather shoot
underwater without scuba gear. Just when you thought nothing
was more stressful than a wedding shoot, the family portrait
from...well, you know where...ends up on your schedule.

Marcus is also awesome because he’s posted about protecting
your images on the web, offering his experience with having

Thanks Marcus!
