Organized?

2 min read
I tried to organize all of my submitted deviations in my gallery but it's not removing them from "featured" afterward even if I tell it to. Still, I hope some of the sorting makes it easier for people to find whatever they're looking for.

I've uploaded a few new things tonight. My fiancee is getting a new camera - when that gets here, we're going to go hunting for abandoned buildings. The plan is to upload a lot of those pictures here, but we all know I'm not very good about actually updating this account.

Thank you to all the people who continue to use my stock - I'm glad you can be inspired by it. It makes me feel really good to know that my passion can help fuel the passions of others.

As always, if you use something, please send me a note - it's the easiest way to keep track of what's been used. Leaving comments on deviations is okay but please, please please do not leave notes on my front page to tell me what you've used.

If you're interested in what others have done with my stock, be sure to check my collections and favourites - I always collect people's work that includes my stock.

Please remember that my stock is not to be used for profit without prior permission. I know I don't check this as often as I should. Don't hesitate to email me with any questions - put  "stock use" in the header. This is always the fastest, most sure-fire way to get ahold of me.

This is the entry which includes a rather straight-forward, if stern guide to stipulations on use of my stock. photomars-stock.deviantart.com… Most of it's been covered again here. If in doubt - ASK!

Terms of use and print/profit stipulations:

It has come to my attention that people are now starting to use stock photos for prints.

My stock photos are NOT TO BE USED FOR PROFIT. Should you decide you want to make a print of something you've made from my stock, you need to email me and discuss it with me. I have a problem with people making  money off of other people's work without due credit. A very LARGE problem.

I understand that photo manipulations are hard work. I do them frequently. However, that does not give you the right to use other people's work without full credit, permission, and sharing of any profit you may gain from said pieces of art.

So know, that if you ask me if you can use my art for prints (photomanips, backgrounds, anything) I'm likely to ask you to share a portion of your profit with me.

My stock is not to be used for something for profit without prior consent. Failure to comply may result in legal action.

I know. This makes me sound like an evil bastard with no sympathy for anyone or no room to budge. That isn't the case. As with many other stock photographers, I simply want credit where credit is due. These aren't just "Pictures that are crap that I am not using." Most of these are pictures that I put quite a bit of thought into taking that I thought might be useful for photo manipulations, backgrounds in cgs, texture, brushes, etc.

Please, definitely email me if you want to use them in something that you plan to sell. The big problem is PRIOR PERMISSION.

That doesn't mean you can't use them at all. I think people are misunderstanding that this means people aren't allowed to use my stock without asking first. You're welcome to use it. Go for it. Abuse the hell out of it. But please, if you do, credit me. Leave a note in your deviation saying that you used my stock. Have that note link back to either the specific picture or my general stock-photography account.

And please send me a note! Let me know that you've used it. I'd love to see what people can make out of the photos I've taken.

What to do if you've used one of my photos in something:

We STILL  seem to be having some problems knowing the difference between sending me a NOTE and leaving a comment on my front page.

The problem with leaving me comments on my front page that you've used my stock is that it doesn't notify me. I have to come to my front page and hope I've caught it before some other note pushes it off the front.

As such, please NOTE me if you use my stock.
----

On the subject of requests:

I am willing to take requests as long as I have the ability or resources to take the picture requested. I try to check this account as frequently as my other accounts, so it's fine to leave requests here. Please send them in a note. DO NOT LEAVE THEM ON THE FRONT PAGE. There is a chance that they will get pushed off the front and I will miss them.

Note that I can't/won't take photos of everything under the sun, but I'm pretty open, so if in doubt, ask! Worst thing I can do is say "I'm sorry but I can't/won't do that [insert reason here, dependant on subject matter]." Never hurts to ask.

I now have an additional model who may be willing to let me use them for more photos, so that's also something to look at.

Don't expect things to be regular around here, but something's better than nothing.

Journal update:
Left a lot of the old stuff on there, as it's still relevant.
Uploaded some new stuff, including one that is a  downloadable packaged zipfile. Thoughtit might be worth trying to do.

I'm sorry I've been away for awhile. I've now got my digital camera and WILL take requests as long as I've got the ability to take the picture.

I've got plenty of stuff to upload now, so expect it to happen whenever I get around to it.

Enjoy!

Needless to say, I probably won't be catching up, anytime soon.

As a stock photographer, and photo manipulatior, I am still mourning the loss of the search feature.

I'll probably be going on uploading sprees here and there for the next few months, as I've got a digital camera in my possession, and since it's not mine, I've got to get what I can out of it :w00t:

Wow.
Even though I am partial to the featured stockphoto I'm using now, maybe I ought to switch it to this: www.deviantart.com/deviation/4…
It's been used a lot, lately!
I had a few more paper textures that I wanted to upload,  but never got around to it. I ought to dig those out, since the paper textures seem to be appreciated. :w00t:
