We'll also be working on files from start to finish, first by watching
me, then together. The second day will also have time for
revision on anything that needs clarification. There will also be time
for me to go around the room to see everyone work, and allow them to
ask me questions as they are tackling images.
I will be showing you exactly what editors of major magazines and ad
agencies expect of me. I can answer any question on photography,
retouching, modeling, and makeup as it relates to the industry as
well.
The seminar will be based on making every photographer as efficient
