Photo Story // Drea and Tori

My first photo shoot on 2012 was a good one. I've been working on projects for clients for so long that I haven't just had a personal shoot just to try out new things. I've been wanting to try out different editing techniques for awhile now. Usually I focus on the model so much that I tend to forget about the rest of the image. Without getting into an editing lesson, curves and layer masks have become my best friend.

I finally got to shoot in this location that I'd been dying to shoot at for the longest time. Old factories right by a river. I love it. I can't wait to explore the area some more and do some more shoots there.
