Earlier this month amidst the holiday scramble I was contacted by a model who needed new images for her portfolio. Even though it was crazy busy around the studio I have a really hard time turning down projects so I sat down and began brainstorming ideas. I’ve always been a huge fan of the wet look. Adding water to an image tends to add impact and glamour to any photograph. Don’t believe me? The next time you sell a car online spray down the driveway before you take the image.
