When it comes to lighting, Mix it up! guestblog by Rick Sammon

At Photoshop world Orlando I met up with Rick and we immediately had a good connection.
When Rick visited me in the Netherlands to have some fun with Stephanie and visit Urk he interviewed me for his podcast, if you never heard it, check it out. I also wrote a guestblog for Rick which you can find here so when I asked Rick if he would be willing to write something for my blog he send me something within a few hours, that’s quick 😀
