ABOUT TRASHHAND
trashhand is a Chicago-based photographer who focuses primarily on architecture and urban environments.

wow, you have got to be kidding me. I'm thinking if your insurance company saw this, they would drop you. NEVER put your model in danger by having them sit or hang off an edge. This is crazy. And this is on Skillshare???? This is a big no no. Glad to see no one got hurt.

Unprofessional, reckless and dangerous. This is great way to get your entire shoot ruined by police or worse. And you use this opportunity and exposure to do this? 🤦🏿‍♂️
