After looking through my shots from my second shoot with Sylvia, It’s time for another installement of “Lessons Learned”.
One of things I noticed about shooting with a model you know, is that you know what to expect. The first time I worked with Sylvia I had no idea what was going to happen or even [...]
From time to time I go back through the images I’ve captured and I try to understand where I’ve come from and where I’m going in all of this. Being to see the mistakes and how to fix them has been a very good way to learn “how-to” photograph nudes. It hasn’t been [...]
