Inspiration is, for me, a funny thing. I get inspired more by an emotion or feeling than an actual thought or expression; a lot of my work is created from facts and concepts, but the seed of it always stems from an emotion.

I have a collection of favourites of work which I've found on deviantART which inspires me because their visual evokes a feeling which sparks inspiration in me and drives me to create. You can browse the collection, but I'm going to share some of my favourite selections from it with you now.

Today I'm going to talk about the importance of models and a little bit about using them to successfully improve your book.

The right model can make a shoot - the wrong one can break it. Every photoshoot is a collaboration between model and photographer - often with others as well, but always between those two. If it isn't then it will fail, if you don't work together the results will never be what you want them to be.

So, my lovely :devsceneyme: is taking a break from the hectic life of our resident dA madlady, and I'll be taking over a couple of her duties for a while, and lending :devkaz-d: a hand with the general photography galleries!

So in addition to all of my lovely fashion suggestions, send me any general photography DD suggestions which you'd normally send to :devsceneyme:!

So, introduce yourselves. Lets get to know each other.

Anyway, here's the basics:

:bulletblue: The 3-month rule is now the 6-month rule, meaning that it must be at least 6-months since the last time an artist received a daily deviation.

:bulletblue:  Daily deviation selectors may only select one daily deviation per day maximum. This has been put in place to focus on Quality vs Quantity.
