#160 - All I Want For Christmas

I figured it was high time that I posted a picture of my beautiful wife Vera.

I have been following the work of many amazing photographers since joining flickr but two in particular have really moved me to step outside of my comfort zone and experiment more with off camera lighting.

Thanks to chris_florio and Dustin Diaz for your inspiration and all the other photographers that share their knowledge on flickr. If you haven't seen their work before you should check them out . Chris often posts set up videos that are very informative and Dustin has some of the best sep up shots out there.

I plan on doing more creative lighting shots throughout the winter so stay tuned and when possible I will post my set up shots for others to learn from as well.
