I have really been getting into photography.  I'm taking a class on how to improve catching the light and which lenses to use and surfaces that are best for lighting.
Cool. I love photography. I shoot only on analog.
Oh great!  I love talking to a fellow photographer. Though I'm still learning a lot. Our next section in the class goes over portrait photography; capturing a picture of a person and using the backdrops and poses. Should be fun.
Are you taking the class for fun or for your degree. 
I'm taking it for fun and for business.  I am a chef so I need to capture food better in pictures than I'm currently doing.  Food art is such a huge thing that you can't just take regular pictures anymore.
Are you a private Chef? Or do you own your own restaurant?
I used to be a personal chef and prepare meals for people in their own kitchens for vegan diets, but now I am actually putting together a cookbook and working as a head chef in an upcoming vegan restaurant, Leaf.
