Отрывок из книги
What began with shooting pictures for my high school yearbook has turned into 30 years of portrait, wedding, sports, action, commercial, and scenic photography. I started shooting with old-school 35mm film cameras, advanced to medium-format cameras, and today I use professional DSLR camera systems.
