It's here. The final episode of season one. To end the season I have a wonderful chat with Michaela Tornaritis about her work, and to be honest we go into a lot of photography related tangents so you can tell we were fully loving just chatting and talking photography really. We talk about beauty, retouching, the gear we use, gut feelings, backing up work. A LOT! So there is no one thing we discuss. We just loved talking photography in general really.
