I hope enough people tell you how good you are with makeup. The colors, the little doo dads and whatnot. Top notch and flawless.
As far as getting paid for your great skills...Have you studied marketing? Working on your "brand".
Artist hate marketing. It's antithetical (Oh wowee I got to say "antithetical"! Hope it's a real word.) but there is also an art to marketing...

I think I'd like them better separated. (if that's what you're asking about. I've never heard the term Diptych before)

Hi!
I like it when you make that type of photography!
Concerning the dyptich, the trees are very disturbing as they go to the edges and blur the readability.
Maybe if you put some kind of border, it might be better.
Something else : why do you work with a so fast shutter speed and a so high iso setting?

Thanks for the feedback.
I work with a fast shutter and iso speed because..
well it's just what I'm use to. It was a cloudy day
and I needed to make sure my images were sharp enough.
I've had a continual problem with my camera having
issues focusing and then my images turn out blurry.
It's especially problematic working with studio lighting.
I want a new camera desperately, but don't have the money for it.\
Oh and I don't use a tripod.. I hate tripods. Everything I do
is hand held, so I have to make sure it's fast.

Yeah I do understand you have to be fast, but at 1/200, you will have pretty sharp images and avoid that noise, so IMO you will have sharper images.
But every camera is different, so it's your call, this was just out of curiosity.

Here's a couple more things to look at that can help with focus/speed:
-Can you open up your aperture any more? Say, down to 2.8 or 3.4? That'll let a lot more light in, so you can use a lower ISO for less noise.
-Where is your camera set to focus at? If it's autofocusing on multiple points, that's BAD: it's taking an average of the depths, which means everything is softer than it should be.
-I've noticed that, so long as my arms are decently steady, it's safe to go as low as 1/30 shutterspeed. Below that when shooting people, then yes, things inevitably get blurry. But if you're staying upwards of 1/50, you ought to be fine. By 1/200, if you're still getting blur, it's probably not the shutter speed's fault.

Just go on wikipedia and say it is.

I looked up "diptych" to see what it was on wiki and that made me think of how wikipedia is things people put there themselves which led to my sort of funny little bitty joke.
