Last November, my friend Jessica asked me if I was interested in sharing an office space with her. She had found a new location for her therapy practice and had an extra room. I was so excited at the thought of having my own photography space and also getting to work beside a friend I […]
Last week we talked about the importance of finding “good light” and how to find it in your home. Today I want to introduce you to a setting on your camera that can help you control the light once you find it. If you’ve dabbled at all in shooting in manual mode, I’m sure you’ve […]
