I just recently took the dive into taking my photography to a professional level.
I have created a website and have started marketing my work. I'm currently working on a logo, and I'm on a never-ending mission to perfect my work. It's very important to me to give my clients quality work so I...
If you are going for a more classic timeless capture, I would go with Theresa, but if you enjoy a little more character in your photos, I personally like Jonathan Hare's style. Regina has good work, but her website is lacking terribly and her crops are poorly thought out.

Would it have been possible to get a shot where he wasn't headless? Otherwise I like it. Is it raining in the distance? Glad to see a rope on him. I live in the rockies, you'd be amazed at the number of deaths that happen around here in climbing accidents.
