I'm in the process of enjoying Nichole Van's Workshop in a Box. I already feel its making a difference, and I've only read 2 chapters! I <3 her stuff! She is nothing shy of amazing, and I hope to be half as good as her here sooner than later! =D Here's a small sample of the product of what I'm learning.
Use of correct lighting and aperture, with a lil flare of some couture creativity in there!
And an exciting note for VioletRay Photography!, I'm now a member of OperationLove: ReUnited! A service that photographers perform for our servicemen as they are being deployed on their tours. Check it out at: www.oplove.org for more details!
