Thank you Gavin. This was excellent. You answered three big questions for me in one shot! Low key, Metering and Photoshop!

But not the best model, she absolutly don't know what to do

@pauladams2344 7 жыл бұрын

This as as much the photographer's fault as the model's. The photographer should be directing the model.
