[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 169589, member: 1556"] If you don't have commercial experience that does not mean that you can't show commercial examples. Stage a few commercial shots that will most closely duplicate a product or person in roughly the same position as a highly sought after shot of a famous person or a staged product shot. They MUST be clearly marked as staged or practice. What you're trying to do is showcase your skill in setup and execution. Having your best landscape, portrait and other shots show how well you understand the basic rules of photography. You have to show that you know the rules before you show that you know how to break them. Just as a general aside... The chicken/egg conundrum is a fallacy. The egg was in use approximately sixty five million years before the chicken. You ever heard of dinosaur eggs? As always, advice is usually worth less than what it costs. Hope this helps.
