They’re just hard and not that much fun.  The placement has to be just right and the model doesn’t move much because the zone is so small.  I like movement so I tend not to do them much.  This past weekend with a few attendees there were plenty of helping hands. I had a vision […]

Detroit Michigan Modeling Portfolio Photography by Mary DuPrie Well it’s been a trying day today.  My goal was to finish my glamour info and pricing… fail.  Well I didn’t exactly fail but my flipping book failed.  Wouldn’t work at all.  We’re speculating that perhaps it was originally made for windows and somehow has problems with […]
