This is one of my favorite images from my first shoot that got me into Photography. It was back in 2009 and I did a weekend group photoshoot with models. I was burned out from working in my business at the time, so I did this weekend shoot.

When I came back from the shoot my friends said I looked like I was glowing and when people saw my photos they really liked them and asked how long I had been shooting. It was my first time with models and professional lighting equipment.

A year later when everything I had been working on crashed and burned and the economy tanked, I really had to try to remember the last time I had fun and was happy. Then I remembered back to this photoshoot looked at the image and decided I would go into photography full force. This decision gave me a drive and passion for something again and My Photography and Photographic Art has been my main passion in life ever since. Which is why this image holds special value to me as it r symbolizes the start of my career as a Photographic Artist.

This was shot on a Nikon D70 with just a kit lens and light with a strobe with a softbox.
