More than once I have said that the relation with models is one of the most important things you, as photographer, should look for during a session. You should already know your stuff about lighting, knowing how to change settings on your camera and so on without losing touch with [...]
Yesterday’s comments to my photos has been very interesting and made me understand few things.
