I often get the comment: "You must shoot a lot of frames!" Well, in fact I do not. I do not just fire away and hope for the best - I rig the picture and shoot only when things look good through the viewfinder. This is an inheritance from the day I shot with expensive film and only got 10 frames per film. My theory is that pressing the release button is a trigger for the brain. If you want to teach the brain to quickly react to when things look good, something that can be vital when shooting people and situations, you have to give the brain positive feedback. See the release button as a dog clicker. Only shoot when you really see it looks good. Yup, in the beginning it can take a really long time between shots but after a while your brain, eyes and release finger get in sync.
For Terese 's image I shot 50 frames including 12 test shots, and for Victoria's image I shot 55+17+24 = 96 frames for three different dressings (nude, big towel, small towel). This is a lot of frames for me. Most of my pictures you see on on morre.se is shot with 10-20 frames plus 3-5 Polaroids.
