That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where portraits stopped feeling new.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Photography feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

The default angle is what sold me. I noticed the same thing in Warsaw.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Yes, definitely. It seems like the practical answer. The messy constraint is probably the real story.

I picked Yes, definitely, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. The rainy evening version is even more interesting.

Maybe later got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I would test it for 3 days before deciding.
