When using a reflector, do you have a preferred colour (white, gold, silver) or do you just mix it up depending? You often bounce light so subtly it's unnoticeable...I love that.

I really enjoy your work. I can't remember where exactly but I read that you started shooting bands and musicians. Do you mind sharing how you were able to market yourself to that genre? Was it mostly word of mouth or your own marketing efforts?]]>
Unfortunately, I think music photography has really started to die. After everyone stopped using MySpace, there was no free/easy way for bands to promote themselves and make themselves stand out from the rest. Yeah, bands have Facebook's now...but there's no way to customize it, and having good quality photography doesn't even matter because FB will compress the photo to crap and it will be shown fairly small anyway - versus, again, the massive banners on the tops of MySpace's. And there's really no way to "discover" new bands using FB, either (MySpace had top friends and the most-played charts, among other things). I could go on & on about this for a while...but I'm going to go to sleep instead hahaha.]]> http://www.formspring.me/sarakiesling/q/305956276007866026 http://www.formspring.me/sarakiesling/q/305956276007866026 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 02:41:00 -0400 sarakiesling <![CDATA[Explain why the texture layer is important in your editing process of separation. Im confused why you need it thank you! xo]]>
By having a color layer and a texture layer, you can even out all of the discoloration without getting rid of the natural skin texture which, well, makes someone's skin look natural. Then on the texture layer you have the option of removing some of the texture if you'd like (bumps, lines, hair, etc) - instead of being forced to remove texture by cloning and whatnot on a non-separated image!]]> http://www.formspring.me/sarakiesling/q/292471016171514814 http://www.formspring.me/sarakiesling/q/292471016171514814 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:35:23 -0500 sarakiesling <![CDATA[What do you think makes you as a photographer unique?]]> http://www.formspring.me/sarakiesling/q/288944183442423122 http://www.formspring.me/sarakiesling/q/288944183442423122 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:01:01 -0500 sarakiesling <![CDATA[what photoshop do you suggest for beginners?]]> http://www.formspring.me/sarakiesling/q/288944038856360612 http://www.formspring.me/sarakiesling/q/288944038856360612 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:00:27 -0500 sarakiesling <![CDATA[What do you think of Justin Bieber?
