So, instead of having my pictures taken by a professional photographer, you recommend that I pay a professional photographer to take my pictures?
I've heard of irrational bias against the passive voice, but this is extreme even in that genre.

- ramoz 2y agoI mean your response here is equally extreme if not clownish. Do not pay for staged professional photos that convey exactly that. If you do pay for photos, they should look _real_ like an actual photo taken with a phone while you are doing something. Way less processed, less uncanny vibes, less holding you suit button looking out into nowhere.
