I use abobe photoshop elements,,,its a lot cheaper than the full version and can do most of the same things.,absolute necessity to have such a program and Adobe is the best known and widest used so you will find lots of others you can share info and techniques with!
Have fun!

Yes i usually do flash photography but the sun is soft in this time of the year in Canada specially around 3-5pm. If i cant use reflectors (cuz im working by myself) ill go with my Gary Fong lightsphere if im shooting outside. And i can always add a lil bit of fill light in Photoshop if the shadows are too harsh. but im very happy with the results i got from that shoot and it was the 2nd time for her doing an actual photoshoot so it was great. I gave her a few model magazines so she can catch up with the new poses and stuff.
