I don't want to pick on Sears, I have nothing against them at all, but I'm just feeling mean today and I really do dislike portraits with a staged kind of background. Even the family sofa or an easy chair makes for a better image, which is another reason I like real locations.When I was little though I did dislike the school photographer who'd come every fall: he'd grab hold of my head and point it more at the angle he wanted. Do they do that to Brad Pitt when he's getting shot for a magazine? I don't think so. Maybe that's why I hate those backgrounds.
