How do I photograph my yoga teacher?
Q.
My yoga teacher asked whether I could take some pictures of her for her website. But when I did she didn't like the way some of her poses looked. I have offered to take some more but am scared she's not going to like these either. Please help!

Should I use a prime lens or a zoom lens?
Q.
You always seem to use your trusty 70-200mm f2.8 lens, and I love mine too, but people on forums keep saying that I should use primes because "that is what the pro's use".
