I learned to listen to my critiques from Peter and the other Associates on the site, learn from them, change things around and give it another go-around. I began perfecting and sharpening my skills; studied and continued to mess up, try again, mess up, and then try again. I learned from Peter that client’s mustn’t just show up and just smile. It’s about me telling their story in one single image. I learned about hurleyisms, squinching, micro-expressions, the tilt, the lights, subtle changes in posing, psyphotology and so much more.                       On December 17, 2014 I become ...
