Portrait and Landscape Photography

I have had a love for photography all of my life, and have been shooting on a mirrorless Canon EOS R10 for two years. Aside from photography I do for Zehristar, I mostly shoot portraits of people by themselves or in groups and pet portraits. I also have experience with landscape photography. I am continuing to learn more about photo editing and studio photography through The School of Photography online. I have been focusing on learning to edit photos on Photoshop.
