Portraits
Just been looking at the new coins on another thread (where half the design's missing), and it reminded me of some family portraits we've recently had done at the local professional studio.
Now we were always criticised for "chopping the heads off", but it seems now that you don't have the subject in the centre of the picture, but off to one side, partly out of the frame.
When we went for the viewing, I asked if they'd been taken like that, or taken centrally and then chopped. It seemed it was the latter, as we were then showed the whole picture. Although they came round in the end, at first they were quite reluctant to produce our pics like this, though, saying that "their" way was how it should be done.
Any opinions?
