    The lighting is your best friend

    Photography is that art that plays with light as if it were your best friend, and natural light, especially, has a special place in the hearts of those of us who capture fashion through a lens.

In my natural light fashion photography course, we explore why daylight is so fabulous and how to make the most of it, so for now I'll share some important points to keep in mind and decide to use natural light on your shoots.

    8 Free Apps for Restoring and Animating Old Photos

    Bring old photos to life and animate your memories with these five apps We all have old photos that we wish were in better condition: portraits of family members we never had the chance to meet, people we haven’t seen for decades, or places we once lived or used to visit.
