Working with neutral density filters in harsh light

The month of September was a busy one for me with regards to personal projects.  I arranged the photo shoot for the National Black Female Photographers’ Day, and I scheduled a personal shoot using a dress that I rented from “Home Gown Rentals” here in Austin.   When I saw the dress on Home Gown Rentals Instagram, […]

I scheduled a photo shoot the weekend of October 18 because I found this amazing graffiti dress in Etsy.  I had the perfect model in mind for the session, but she had a family emergency the morning of the shoot.  I was so bummed because I really wanted to get behind my camera, and I arranged for […]

On the last Saturday in September, I had a photo shoot in Downtown Round Rock, Texas.  The session was scheduled earlier in the week because I needed to shoot.  I have a session scheduled for October, but I needed to get behind the lens before that date.  I had a t-shirt that I purchased from Banana Republic which […]
