PS: The image featured in this post is by AWAKE artist Siegart Von Schlichting — a composition included in my Somerset article on “Staging Creative Model Shoots.” Siegart’s photo shoots are miraculous, her artistry truly world-class in every way. We’re exceedingly lucky to have her with us in AWAKE.

PPS: If you haven’t grabbed a copy of the Spring edition at a local bookstore or craft store yet, you can order a copy online still:

This magazine is a dream to hold in your hands. And the bonus training included in my article and with Denise Love’s article is surely worth more than the cost of the magazine itself. You’ll get a lot from this issue!

Enjoy! And get inspired!
