TESTIMONIALS
Private Lesson-
"I had a session with Chip to learn how to photograph my own sculptural work. He taught me how to set up my lighting and walked me through the process. Since then, I have felt confident to take it on myself...and I have had many positive comments from people wondering who was my photographer. Thank you, Chip Forelli! "
