What lesson can you apply to taking portraits here in your own "close to home" world?
I think you do not need to travel the world to get quality portraits because not everyone who are photographers have the money to get pictures from around the world. I also think that you do not need to travel the world to get quality pictures because their are a lot of places where you are and can get good quality pictures wherever they are.
