Hello Hera

I was at your presentation at the RA Photo Club last night and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Your photography is truly an inspiration. It is so very tasteful and shows the person in such a beautiful way.

I have never taken any Studio shots of people as I have only started to photograph a year and a half ago but after seeing your work, it certainly is something I would enjoy trying.

By the end of the evening I was excited about a new type of photography available to me.

You are an amazing lady with an abundance of talent - not only your photography but your way with people.

My late husband was a photographer in the 70's and did very tasteful nudes of myself and of clients. Your style reminded me very much of Michel's style. Never anything crude, just showing the beauty the human form has to offer. Last night brought back very fond memories of the gentleman I lost at the young age of 53, only 4 years ago. I thank you for that.

I am so pleased the RA Photo Club invited you to give us a sample of your truly awesome work.

Bonjour Madame Bell

Tout d'abord merci encore pour la magnifique conférence que vous nous avez offerte a notre club photo, Bien que de petits ennuis technique nous aie privé de certaines de vos œuvres, je peut me permettre de parler au nom de tous, vous etes une extraordinaire photographe, avec qui j'ai appris a mieux comprendre le portrait de studio.

Avant de quitter le local, vous avez mentionné qu'une visite de votre studio serait envisageable pour notre groupe. Je le prends en bonne note, et je ferai tout en mon pouvoir d'insérer cette activité à notre calendrier. Il faut vraiment s'en reparler, c'est un MUST…

Encore une fois merci
Amicalement

    Dear Hera,
   Thank you again so much for a wonderful evening of beautiful photos and your insights on Roman life. You  have captured unique elements of the Eternal city that many of us would easily miss.
I hope your trip back to Montreal was good.
Warmest regards from all of us (to share with your Father).
