The Fire Baby is the first image i ever posted on the PRO4UM. Back then my lighting and posing was very basic. Not much flair. The next image is name “FOR HIM”. It scored a 98 at PPLA Convention. What I learned from the members of the forum and Kirk was how to jump out of the box and create something very different as in the bridal portrait. I saw on one of the threads that a bridal portrait needs to show 3 things…. that a bride is Soft, Sensual and Seductive. I used the 3rd one (seductive) in a more mild manner ,but the principal was the same. This is just one of the hundreds of hints, tips and encouragements I have gotten from the Pro4uM photography forums.

When I first joined Pro4uM photography forums about six years ago, I shared a simple image of my flower bed. I wasn’t sure what kind of feedback I’d get, but the response was incredibly supportive. The community didn’t just offer critiques; they provided valuable insights that helped me grow. Fast forward to today, and the difference in my work is incredible.The “after” images I create now are a direct result of the knowledge and inspiration I’ve gained from the Pro4uM. In just a few years, I’ve gone from basic snapshots to professional-quality images. The journey has been amazing, and I owe much of my progress to this community.

I joined in 2007 with some photography experience but was new to portraiture and studio lighting. For about a month, I lurked on the photography forums, trying to get my lighting techniques right. After countless hours of reading, practicing, and experimenting, I feel I’ve made significant progress. The supportive community has been invaluable, allowing me to connect with fellow photographers and share insights. I’ve not only improved my skills but also forged lasting friendships along the way. I’m excited to keep learning and growing as a photographer, and I’m grateful for the resources and encouragement this community provides.
