Hello Readers!
I am interested in expanding my experience as a photographer. I am looking for anyone who is interested in being a model for me during the Christmas break. I would like to do some studio work--with lights and a backdrop in order to get a feel for the studio style photography.

I have a special blog for my iPhone Photos. I use it as a chronicling of my life. www.rachaeliphone.blogspot.com
Those photos are more artsy but I love the blog and all the photos in it.

Here is the newest self portrait I have created. I know I look a little ragged--but I am recovering from some minor surgery. However, this photo was one of 20 that I took and it's the only one I was really drawn to. My head was cut off in the original, but I balanced it out by trimming off the bottom to make it into a banner style. I also toned down the reds because my face was very rosy in the original. This photo was shot with a Cannon Rebel XS with the factory lens and an external flash. Once my hand heals more, I will be taking my camera out of the house and into the city to work on more self portraits as a way to gain experience.

Note to self: Buy/Make a light kit



One last thing, I started an ETSY account to sell my photos! Seller name: rlschroeder16. If there is a specific photo on my website you would like to purchase, please feel free to contact me. Most of my photographs are for sale. :)
