I was raised in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. After high school, I left for Western Kentucky University where I obtained degrees in photojournalism and cultural anthropology. I am currently employed by CityBeat, an arts and entertainment weekly in Cincinnati. The work I am doing here is very rewarding and I suspect it will continue to be. I am available for freelance work in all areas of photography.

    This was a fun quiz to take, as I’ve never done any portrait photography before. I got a 69.23%. Questions 2, 6, 11, and 12 were wrong.

  • PG

    100% – Apparently I am now a master of photography. I shall be selling off my possessions and moving to the Caribbean where I will take up some form of bohemian lifestyle, doling out exciting and wonderful anecdotes whilst the locals lay admiringly at my feet, reveling in my masterfull -ness!

  • Chesham

    Question #12 has duplicate answers. Surprised how well I did considering I’ve never done portrait photography before and don’t know all the lingo very well.

    The quiz topic i have been waiting for
    I have got 100%

    its a bit easy

    In the hair light Question, none of the answer is exactly right .
    Because we don’t place the hair light exactly above the head. but from behind at a height , that’s why honeycomb grill light is used to avoid glare on the camera

  • Craig

    I do not agree with the answers in question 5 and 12, im studding for my degree in photography and this is not what we are taught

  • Andrew

    Just missed one, the last one… Pretty good, considering I’ve never taken a portrait before. (At least not with all the bells and whistles)

  • Pamela

    That was fun! Received a 92.31.
