Mother and daughter 120

One of the few risks with a duo shoot is that the models may get out of sync - in other words, one of the models looks gorgeous on a picture and the other model does not look at her best (or vice versa). This did not happen often during this mother and daughter photo shoot - but in this particular series it did. The solution is simple: cut the good poser out of the original duo portrait :). I followed the same receipt on several occasions where each of the two models called for a different style of editing. Some models fare better in a soft focus whereas other models really shine when the editing produces a sharp contrast. It's all a matter of trial and error. A third obvious reason to reduce a duo portrait to a solo portrait is excessive glare in the lenses of the glasses.

Here is Miriam posing great in the Italian glasses from the late 1980's. The lenses are progressive and Miriam enjoyed fair eyesight through her left lens.
