Formal portraiture has its place, and, if you have the know how and the patience, there can often be worthwhile and dramatic results. It's not one of my strongest or, let's face it, one of my most favorite areas so I focus more on natural settings and lighting. No studio needed.
This isn't to say that it's not worth learning, only that I have a fairly good sense or understanding of what works for me and who I am working with. It is a matter of preference on my own behalf.

Some of the best photography, in my humble opinion, is spontaneous. When life is happening in all of its unexpected glory that's when it lights up for me. If you are working too hard at it, you are missing the point.
