Lots of people (ie Jessie) have asked to see the finished series of my Mexican women series. After an extended hiatus it's time to get back on track. After teaching English to this group of Mexican women for almost three years I decided it was my duty to show America the faces behind the words "undocumented immigrants."

THANKSGIVING EXPERIMENT: LIGHT PAINTING PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY

Over Thanksgiving I told myself I needed to shoot something, I did not care what. I was looking through petapixel.com (great website for inspiration though I spend altogether too much time there) when I came across an interesting tutorial. Basically the idea was to create beautiful product photography, which often require extensive lighting set up, with just the screen of a tablet or phone.
