FOLLOW-UP CONTACT
After a shoot, I often send an email (or leave a MySpace comment, ModelMayhem tag etc) to the model saying that I enjoyed the shoot and had a great time working together. This isn't essential, especially if the model is someone you know well and see all the time, but it is nice if the shoot you're referring to is the first time you've met and/or worked with the model.

LAY IT ALL OUT!
It is ALWAYS a good idea to be completely honest, up-front and open about the nature of the shoot that you're planning. If you're looking for a model who is willing to strip off and jump in a bath of fake blood with another naked girl or two, say that. While some models will be happy to do character work and won't object to being photographed in an unflattering manner in

INTRODUCTION
This, the first part of the Working With Models series, suggests how to find models to work with. When I refer to models, I'm not referring specifically to mainstream fashion models, the tall slender ethereal looking young women who float down the catwalks or the tanned and shiny guys showing off their tighty whities on billboards. When I say model I'm talking about any per

The Artists' Manifesto

What we owe ourselvesAs artists, we work ourselves crazy in an attempt to arrive at the unattainable goal of perfection. We insult ourselves in a way that we would never put up with from someone else. We are our own worst critics, even during times when we go out of our way to support and encourage our friends. We pour our souls into our creations. We need to listen to the compliments along with the constructive advice. Remember that there is value in what we do and that we have every right to be celebrate when things go well. So, what do we owe ourselves..?

Recognise your talentIn this context, I'm talking about talent in terms of something

Motivation and Communication

Introductory BitBefore I get started, I'd like to make it clear that this article is made up of my own thoughts, my own opinions. I hope that some of you read this and it sparks a little internal dialogue, but I'm not expecting that on any great level. It may spark a little external dialogue too, and that's fine. You don't have to agree with me and I would never expect everyone to agree with everything (or anything) I say. This is a collection of thoughts on a concept, a gathering of my own ideas and an act of sharing those ideas with others. There is no right and wrong. But there is motive and there is intent, and that's the perfect place to

How to be a guiding light and a shining exampleThis journal was updated in July 2012 to include some new information and replace outdated terminology.
How can I help?
At regular intervals, new faces appear in the Community Relations team as open positions for Community Volunteers are filled. All these new additions to the team can spark interest in volunteering for dA and can inspire people to ask "What can I do to support my favourite gallery?". You don't have to be a Community Volunteers or have a fancy symbol next to your name to promote and support artists within your favourite gallery. The suggestions listed below are for everyone, and in case you want something a little more useful than just my ideas I've included links to FAQ entries with more information.

but it wasn't appropriate (before)

standing with you, next to my car
the realisation that this was going nowhere
i leaned on the door and shuffled my feet as you said i wouldn't fit into your life
not really, beyond, you know
a cut-throat reminder that i was enough for only some things

i hope you enjoyed that little moment
that you took it home and wrapped y

How to deal with online rips

What you won't find hereBefore I get started I'd like to make it clear that this news article does not deal with how to protect your work online (watermarks etc), whether or not you should post your work online or whether or not you should take steps to deal with copyright violations if the person committing them isn't profiting from your work or claiming credit for having created it.

It also does not contain a response to people who say "You're lucky your work is good enough to get ripped" although if it did, it would say something like "Don't be so stupid, theft isn't a compliment. If someone stole something from your shop you wouldn't sit
