A couple weekends ago I had the pleasure of going out to shoot with David Starks.  David is from Denver but is currently attending school in Atlanta.  Recently, he bought a DSLR and since has become interested in photography and cinema.  Of course, I know nothing about cinema but spent the early evening giving him some pointers about composition and portraiture.

Showing him different tips and tricks really made me appreciate the photographers who have taken time throughout the years to help me.  Mentorship can be crucial when learning a craft and I am happy for every second others spent working with me to make me a better photographer.  David seems extremely passionate about the art and I'm sure if he sticks with it he'll be great.  I wish my first portraits had turned out half as good as his did here.
