“I’ve learnt a lot, particularly from the fashion and beauty lighting classes. I photograph brides and grooms rather than models, but the techniques I picked up are great for weddings, engagement shoots and even families.”
"Great to have all this valuable information in a single place. Well organised and easy to access. I’ve been looking for something like this for centuries.”
Nicolae Marian
