It is a challenging topic, challenging even on how to descript it। Understandably, it is improper for me to use other schoolmate's photos to illustrate my description (thinking about using Maria's photo though >_<), but I am always being asked by others on this question.

First of all, like it. Photo pretty girls is not challenging yet to an unskilled photographer, u just need to record it. While photo a normal looking girl will be full of challenging, on the other hand a good result will give ur more achievement feeling as well. Pretty girls may never lack of photographers to photo them, but not that pretty girls have far less chances in their lives. . For example, I have a female schoolmate in my Facebook. Her prime photos were always a carton, her pet or some decoration in her bedroom. In real life she was also a bit “grey girl”, wore dirty shoes, old t-shirt, not really dressed up and kept distance from other guys. During an event, I got a chance to take some her pictures and sent to her afterwards. She changed her prime photo of her Facebook Account to her own photo just within the next day. And pay much more attention on her dressing, hair style afterwards. I felt great reward on her changing. I always think there would be no better gifts than good portraits I can ever give to others.

Second of all, browse around. Normal looking girls are often shot or laughed by their male classmates. As the result, many of them do not dress up. A good habit is to pay some attention on girls passing by, their dressings, make ups and their hair styles, learn the good and bad. It is important for a photographer to know what it should be, rather than what it is. On the moment you can look beyond, you will have a vision on how to frame, how to represent a portrait.

Third of all, respect it. Photo normal looking girl is not always a pleasant job. They have less confidence, more reluctant than beautiful girls, and easily being irritated. Even u got the chance on spot, you will unrarely being asked to delete their photos, regardless how good you feel those photos are. But don’t forget, many of them have experiences on being shot by their rude male classmates, being negative commented on their Friendster and Facebook photos. It is normal for them to have some traumatized behaviors. Remember, you are coming to help them, enlighten a spirit, not to hurt her another time.
