Hello all; My name's Shalem (hence the screen name), I'm twenty-one, and have been doing professional photography for 5 years now. I started out working for a large studio in my city, and moved on to start a business with a more experienced business partner, and just recently (4 months ago) ventured...

It never saw bridge or PS and the original raw files haven't been modified at all. I have made level and curve changes along with vigenetting and saturation changes...

Well for those of us not in that area (I'm up in New England). Maybe we can use the photo critique forum to post links to galleries of wedding/portrait shoots and everyone can chime in with "constructive critisisim". I've only shot a few weddings and have several more secheduled so...

I've been asked to find a good location by my bridal client for their engagement pictures. I've lived here (Salem) area for three years but I'm drawing a blank. It seems they don't have any places that bring strong memories for them or they want to see how creative I'll be. I'm...
