critique: portrait strobes and gels ‧₊˚♡

Image result for portrait with strobes and gels

I really like the vibe of this picture. The different colors make the woman in the picture look ethereal.

I like the way that the main focus is her, there’s nothing else distracting from that. The woman also has very nice features.

˗ˏˋ indeed job search ♡ˎˊ˗

Videographer/Editor – Fontana, CA

For this job, I wouldn’t meet the requirements because they need you to have a flexible schedule and considering school, I wouldn’t meet the requirements.

Some skills they talked about were, experience with Adobe Photoshop & I’m pretty familiar with it.

The starting pay is up to $3,500 per month.

I believe that considering the pay per month I could support myself, maybe with help.

My actual career goals for the future are to be a cosmetologist or a model.
