Blog post about creating images in harsh light

Every year on the second Saturday in September, Black Woman Photographers all over the world meet for photo walks or photo sessions.  This year, I was honored to serve as the host for the Austin, TX photo walk.  Since I’m still not familiar with the Austin area, I arranged for three models to sit for us to […]
