Episode 031 - New Year, New Plans

You are looking through a magazine and a stunning portrait catches your eye. You sit there, look at the catch light, size, position, the softness of the light, the rest of the scene. You start to pick pieces of it a part. Some pieces you feel like you know, some you just can't figure out how it was done. And you start to think, "Could I ever shoot something like this?" Or is it just us?
