I noticed she’s using continuos lighting for portraits. One of the first clues of being a fauxtographer.

I’m not a fan of continuous lights because I find them too bright for me as a model and not bright enough for the camera, as a photographer.  But, that’s just my opinion.  Peter Hurley (peterhurley.com/) uses continuous lights.  Jim Schmeltzer (kelbytraining.com/author/jimschmelzer/) uses continuous lights, he even appears on behalf of Wescott to do seminars using their continuous lights.  Again, just one guy’s opinion but, they don’t seem like fauxtographers.  I’m sure I could list a slew of others if I did some research.  These two come to mind immediately.
