Greetings !

Hello all.

Let me introduce myself. I am a photographer, have been shooting for years but over the last 7 or so trying to up the status to world class.

Primarily love fashion but shoot mostly story based nudes at the moment, because all the fashion stuff I need is in NYC!

I do all of my own retouching at the moment ( cant wait til I can afford to hire that out! ), and want to up the level of my skills so hence visiting this site and reading tons of articles. Thanks to all those who have spent a tremendous amount of time doing stuff like this.

I don't like blurred techniques and am learning tons on masking and my weakness, color correction/adjustments.

You can see my work at www.chipwillis.com and on my blog. Advisory, my site is NSFW, due to mild nudity.

Any tips or ideas where to concentrate my work on first are appreciated.

I am working on a photo I am fond of now and will post it when im done ( this is an hours long project, least for me ).

Chip

PS. I use a MacPro/Monaco Optix calibration/CS3 design suite/Dell 2407 main monitor
Shoot with Canon 5D mostly, but some Pentax 67 and 35mm film.
