Hello everyone....so i have been studying photography for about a year now and have been using this time learning software as well. I finally decided to break out of the shell and shoot actual pictures!!!!
I have to say that all the learning has paid off! I had my first model session this weekend for my portfolio and immediately after finishing the photos someone saw the pics and offered money for a photo session for her daughter! I have to say I am excited to do something I love and feel that i may actually be good at it!!!

Anyhoo, I look forward to getting to know everyone!:love:

This is my favorite from my session this weekend! She wanted the orange tone to it...i love the look too.

The first is the nicest one! My thoughts are smth like: how small we are in front of the huge various world!
The second has some technical blunders: for example, the flower is too overexposed, we don't see its details. and it's so bright that this element draws all attention from the main subject - the face.

Good Luck!
