A photographer is an artist and a '''Creative Professional''' (if you have seen Azzara's amassed work on Corbis that alone is proof of creative professional work) . '''PORTRAIT''' photography is a '''collaborative''' affort by its very nature.  A portrait is a collaboration between artist and subject.  The definition is rather simple and clear don't you think? Noted "thanks" is not a requirement to meet the collaborative criteria- just the publication, so the citations stands. I have even spoke to Marvelyn Brown (author of The Nake Truth) about it and she confirmed the collaboration.  I'm willing to let that one go! As for the whole "vanity" claim, I am a neutral third-party so this claim is also invalid. I really hope you see the reason in this and discontinue this debate
