Hi Charlie,
I was a professional photographer in a former life. Are you interested in contributions, or is there another way to share reference images?
Thanks for reaching out, Wonner! 😃 I hadn’t thought about that… I don’t have a way set up currently to submit other images, but it’s a great idea. I’ll have to look into a way to add that!
Beautiful images! such an inspiration…thank you!
Thanks so much!! I hope you’ll find something you can use here! 😃💕
Thanks Charlie! Plenty of challenges on this page!
Aww yay! So glad you enjoyed these photo references, Fantine! 😃💕
