• Tammy Zurak left a corporate sales job to start a business as a glamour photographer – which is now thriving! Sue was blown away the first time she heard Tammy’s belief that if a potential client says, “No”, they just haven’t been properly convinced yet. Go through her selling process step by step and you’ll start believing that “No” really means “Not yet.”

• For many, many years I identified that one of my favorite subjects and greatest missions in life is to talk about transformation on all levels – physical, personal, spiritual, and in business.
• I have found ways to put this message into everything I do, like #50IsFabulous and #ExistInPhotos to name a few.

Peter has been loving shooting with his Leica, and has also changed his tune about Lightroom! He used to previously hate it as it changes your file to a DNG, but as the Leica files are already DNG, it is no longer a problem and he has found the Leica tethers perfectly to it. In this tutorial, he will show you his new Leica workflow for 3 different looks with Ana.

Some of the images from this tutorial can be found here

These lighting tutorials are from a recent shoot with model Tahan Lew. Even though we only had a limited amount of time, Peter managed to achieve 4 different looks replicating other peoples lighting while still making it his own.
