I’ve been doing some portrait photography with a digital slr for about a month; just with my mates as models. How do I get noticed on deviantArt?
Here’s my profile: http://paintadream.deviantart.com/
The only way too get noticed is too do something different don’t copy the same old styles everyone else is doing.
Also try and use Photoshop minimally most people have to use photoshop because their photos aren’t good IE: they don’t know how to aim for best lighting or adjust for proper color or lack thereof nor can they frame up the shot properly. Photoshop for photos that you take should be used for minor brightness contrast and cropping. Also keep in mind having the best equipment does not make one a great photographer I have a very close friend who is a amazing photographer who can use cheap point and click cameras and get really good shots that become very popular and have been in magazines and on websites.
Always let yourself shine through in your photos and never be afraid to do what it takes to get a good shot. If there is action around town then get shots of the action that nobody else is getting and if not still get those shots nobody else has.
Good luck and who knows maybe someone will see your shot and want it for their site or magazine or what have you. Even if not maybe someone will take a liking too them!
