Best regards, Lidia ______________________________________________________________________ I asked my friend Sarah to model for me to practice my lighting. The gym she goes to, saw the pictures and asked me to shoot one for an ad, which is a before and after shot of Sarah. If I hadn't taken this course, I would have never had this opportunity!
