Russian Themed Winter Photo Essay
Grace has visualized a series of images she has wanted to capture in the snow for a while now.

Connecting with Models, MUAs and Photographers
On November 14, 2009, 15 photographers, 8 models, and 2 make-up artists met up at Central City Recording Studio for a music themed learning and networking event. All ranges of experience were represented – from beginners to pros.

At the beginning of October, I went to Mexico to participate in Don Giannatti’s “Learn to Light” workshop. During this trip, we got to experiment with various lighting devices. One of them, I fell in love with – the SpeedlightPro Beauty Dish.
