Getting Back to Model Photography With Meetups
August 3, 2019
I’ve been an avid photographer for over 10 years now. There have been phases during this time where a lot of my focus was on model photography.

What kind of student camera can you recommend for a budget of no more than $300?” This challenge is given to me often. And it’s surprising how many come up with the same $300 budget.
