Hi! I'm Thao!

So for this blog it is my mission to improve my knowledge of lighting. I use to hate light. I use to say that I was a natural light kinda girl.... and well, I still am. But there's no doubt that there are a million advantages to knowing how to use artificial light in your favor.

So my quest for this blog and even for 2011 is to be a kick ass portrait photographer. So feel free to give some constructive criticism and follow us on our quest! :)

(us in that Ben is doing this too!)

Oh right a little back story.... I'm a freelancer in Austin, TX and I actually met Ben at another photographer's birthday 2+ years ago. I've actually only seen Ben twice in my life, but he is quite the resource for my random photo questions, so I like to keep him around! :)

More back story-- After shooting a not so great portrait for one of my newspaper assignments, I came to the realization, that yes, indeed, my portrait photography was... WEAK. So it was best to do something about it! :)
