When I took Karen Russell's Photographer's Workshop 2 years ago (one of the best things I've ever done in my life) , I didn't imagine what a change it would bring in my life. Since then I have improved my photography skills and I enjoy taking pictures. Most of all I love to shoot portraits.
Following Karen's suggestion, I bought Erin Cobb's Clean Color workload video (another excellent decision I've made) and I loooooove it! I want to become a good photographer but there's no doubt that you have to know something about editing too. And another fact of life: you'll never get a good photo out of a crappy one even with the best of editing skills but you can change a good shot into a magnificent one if you know how to edit. Well, I'm still learning both photography and editing:)
Here are some EDITED portrait pictures of friends and family.

Andrea & Valentina, Rome - April 2011
I had a little photo session with Valentina last week but I still have to choose and edit the best photos. When that's done, I'll post them here.
