Feature!

3 min read
So, lately I've been really slacking around the photography community (oops) because I've been rather obsessed with traditional art! I have no skills in that area (I was a pretty bad president of the Art Honor Society in that regard) but I love people who do. I can make my art with the help of a camera, editing programs, luck, etc., but traditional artists only have themselves. 
So, I've put together a little feature of some of the traditional art I've been loving. Click on the thumbs and you'll be brought to the page, check out these artists!
My Big Leaf ~ Colored Pencil by lemgras330   Age by KleopatraAurel  platonic love by JoanLlado  Wat Lok Molee Temple Chiangmai by Amika-theonenonly 

  Midsummer Night by Doringota  Stop it by Yakhovskaya  218 by StudioUndertheMoon  Below the Stars by AnnMarieBone

  City lights (05) by artMARUSIK     Kiss by NataliyaBohdana


 Fall in Love by Risata  Evening in NYC by takmaj       Lonely house on a hill farm by Zawij  Wet! (2015) by Paul-Shanghai



Hope this inspired you to see try traditional media as much as it did me! I have a Michael's gift card, so who knows, maybe I will!

Rules for Use

3 min read
So while I am relatively new to this, I want to establish rules for my photo use before anything does happen. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!
So, please, anyone wanting to use my photos in other works of art, follow these rules:

    1) DO NOT USE MY PHOTO AND CLAIM IT'S YOURS.

This shouldn't need saying but sadly it does. This is NOT just limited to DA either. If I find my photo unlinked back to my page or you claiming to have made it yourself, I will report you to whatever website I find it on. 
AND PLEASE
  • Don't post my photos on Facebook or twitter, even if you just want to show it off, and PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOT ON WEHEARTIT. THAT SITE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN BY NOW TBH.
  • I put a lot of time and money into my photography, and I am completely self-taught, save for a class at my public high school, and none of that was digital. If you want to have photos like mine you can! I promise you'll feel better making them yourself rather than faking it.

    2) MY PHOTOS ARE NOT TO BE USED IN PHOTOMANIPULATIONS

If I had intended for my photo to be stock, I would have put it in stock. And while I will allow it for referencing (see below) using it in photomanipulations is just saving it and using it for another photo, which just doesn't rest well with me. Sorry. Maybe I'll take some stock photos at some point, but so far, none of my uploads are to be used in manips.

    3)YOU MAY USE MY PHOTO HAS A REFERENCE IF YOU ASK PERMISSION AND GIVE ME CREDIT
And my reference, I mean traditional art or digital art. You must note me first and ask permission and why you want to use it. While I DO make my photos available for download, I would really love a heads up in these cases because that would be nice. And I'd love to see the finished product:)
Also, you MUST credit me in the description. Just a quick "reference: *thumbnail here*" would suffice and give me a little more publicity. As well, if you note me and show me the finished product, I'll put "used as a reference: *your thumbnail here*" and we can both benefit. So please, do that and we can all be happy!

    4) ANYTHING ELSE JUST ASK!
For anything else you might want to use my photos for, feel free to ask! Worst comes to worst, I saw no :) 

Thanks for reading, this really isn't that long and it's pretty straight forward. So please, follow these rules and I'll be happy!

I realized I never actually introduced myself properly on this account so here goes...
My name is Cristina (obviously) I'm 18 and from the US. While I won't say where I live currently, I will say that I'm going to college in NYC in the fall (St. John's University Class of 2019!). This is my second account on DA, I left my first one because I had become admin of too many groups I didn't like and I was trying to distance myself from some of the more amateur photos/art. 
I shoot Nikon for digital and a Minolta for film. I first started to love photography when I got a Sony Cybershot to use for sleepaway camp, and I learned it earlier this year when I took the photography class at my school and had to learn by shooting film on manual. 
I am obviously still learning, so any constructive criticism, good but especially bad, will be most appreciated.
Besides photography, I also love acting, writing, traveling, music, fashion, and the social sciences. (AKA, I'm an extremely creative hipster). I run a tumblr blog and have met some of my closest friends through that site. And I'm also very open, so feel free to note me and talk to me about anything at any time. 
Thanks for reading,
Cristina
