I can't hope to showcase my own talent using someone else's. My style is my style. If a potential customer sees pictures of someone else's style and hires me, they will receive my style for better or worse. There is absolutely, therefore, no gain at all, for either party. If you opened a can of soup and found some other kind of food, who would be more injured, you or the soup company? The bottom line, you should advertise with what you and you alone have to offer.
