It's all about Light

Uploaded: November 09, 2014 | Entered: November 09, 2014 05:11:24

Description

The Westcott Lighting Seminar (presented by photographer Jim Schmelzer) featured this highly experienced model, who after the lecture stood, changing poses, for twenty minutes or longer. I have dozens of beautiful shots of her from that session (and last year's) at the Photo Expo Plus. I had to replace the background though and I was pleased with the results, just using Photoshop masking tools.
