As Always: Simpler is Usually Better

What's the best way to set up a professional portrait of someone in Toronto? Let's see, jam the CN tower and Rogers Centre in the background and make sure your subject is carrying a hockey stick and drinking maple syrup while sailing off Ward Island. That should about do it, right?

Or you could have a basic look over the shoulder. Sometimes I do some pretty elaborate stuff, but other times you have to know when the essentials are all you need.

Of course if you do want the setup described above I can do that too. Maybe.
