My First Magazine Cover

This week I've been speaking with past assistants and interns about what it was like for them when they first started out. I wanted to hear what they thought about being in a professional studio for the first time and how it felt to deal with lighting. As I guessed, it was a very scary thing for most. 

At the start of my career I too was intimidated by photographic lighitng and I learned by working with constant light sources. The first two covers of my career were both photographed uisng constand lights and I still use them today. Even yesterday I found myself using the exact light I used to take my first career cover and I still love that light.

For the last few months I've been compiling everything I know about lighting to create something just for you. I hope to release it soon. If you'd like to know more join my mailing list.

Happy Holidays and always dream big.
