My studio is the city and sometimes the country.
For lights I use the sun, street lights, lamps, or sometimes the little built in flashy thing.
I am not into photography for the money, I just want to meet up with people that are interested in creating interesting imagery or adding something different to their modeling portfolio.
I consider portrait photography to be a collaboration between the subject and the camera operator.
A portrait should reveal something about the soul of the model and not just be a picture of someone trying to look pretty.
