Feeling uninspired, I think I'll start a fire

This week I made business cards and a new website for my photography in an effort to make a real attempt to have a side business shooting portraits and such. This isn't the first time I have tried to get this idea going. The whole process has brought up many of my insecurities as a photographer and artist again, but this time I feel more prepared to deal with the challenges and enjoy it.

Jake - just step back and look at this image - it is wonderful! Then just throw your doubts out the window and enjoy the challenge! :)

Wow!! Great for Dogwood challenge too.how did you set this up, I love fire photography. Fav

@30pics4jackiesdiamond thanks, There is a soft box on camera right for some fill light and the camera was on a tripod that I triggered with a remote. The pan has some oil and Brussels sprouts, once it gets super hot flip the pan a few times and the evaporating oil will catch fire. Note this was done in a commercial kitchen and not at my house. :)

So glad it's skilled photography and not skilled photoshopping!!
