Portrait Masterclass

Posting the last few shots from April 19th's Beers & Cameras meet-up at South Facing Windows Studio in Chicago.  A great time was had by all.  Plenty of opportunity to acquire some much needed portrait experience & knowledge and to hang with cool people.  Thanks to @Grifftur and others who put it all together.

I knew this meetup location would provide for a great overexposure opportunity.  Little did I expect to be over and under exposed in the same image.  Kadrea was great in helping me achieve these images.
