Sometime around 2022 / 2023 I was teaching an introduction to lighting class at a local photography studio. I made practically no money teaching this class but it gave me access to a creative space and kept me in the direction of trying to make a living with my cameras. One evening I had two people show up to learn from me and it was Rosanne Austin and her husband Brandon. Fast forward to yesterday in Houston Texas and all three of us were in the same room together learning, except this time the teacher was Rosanne. The tiny studio in Idaho was now a gorgeous estate lit by chandeliers and the warm Texas morning sun. This woman had a vision for what she wanted and was not going to stop, my class was just a step along the way. What a blessing it has been to watch her excel in her work and to be able to grow along with her. ❤️
