REALLY GREAT WORK from our second assignment (2) free Tabletop Workshop for those who are not able to get out and do things. And for those of you who are, but just want to up your skills.
Here are the top ten images this week:
One Light Setup with Two Versions of the Light
Yesterday I shot Jordan for her mom's Irish Step Dancing Wig catalog. Today we got together for some pics just for her. This was the first time she had shot without a wig on... so it was a lot of fun. I have known Jordan since she was about 9, so it was also fun to...
