Sanderson, who encouraged him to consider photography as his means of self-expression, and to learn the basics of visualization so he could capture his subjects with greater impact.

X-Rite ColorMunki Smile: An Affordable Calibration Option
Jon Canfield  |  Nov 19, 2013  |  First Published: Oct 01, 2013  |  0 comments
