What the…?

You might be wondering what this section is all about?? Well, I get asked a lot of questions from photographers and models about all sorts of topics!! Rather than answer it multiple times, I plan on putting my answers in here, as a little mini library for all the common questions I get all the time!!

I also invite all my readers (yes, all 3 of you!) to ask questions about things you actually want answers to, and I’ll do my best to answer!!
