Up and ComingThere is an abundance of talent here on deviantART, and I love browsing our fashion photography galleries for emerging artists, at the forefront of the next wave of new talent.
There are always people who catch my eye, and I collect their names and keep an eye on them, because watching people make the most of their talent and fulfill their potential is a wonderful experience. I'm going to share some of the fresh talent I'm currently admiring and amazed by, so that when they're out shooting big campaigns and stories across the world, we can say I told you they were special!"
So have a look at these wonderful artists, this feature is the first in a series, and add them to your watch list to see the fantastic things they come up with in the future.

The other week, a piece of my writing was selected for a Daily Literature Deviation. If you're curious you can see the article here. I was humbled by that, but my reason for mentioning it in Photography Bi-weekly is that *0hgravity then highlighted a website to me that I found absolutely fascinating. It's soul purpose is to highlight Endangered Languages through Photography. 3170 lens are capturing the people who hold the key to the worlds most secret languages. Once again something like this highlights the complete and utter importance of Photography and reminds us of how far we've come, and how much we can do from mobile ph

"Replace Fear of the Unknown with Curiosity..."
As the year crawls into the final quarter - lots of challenges and daily photo tasks and so on begin to conclude. I have personally been challenging myself with the 365 Photography challenge - a photo a day for a whole year. It has been tricky to say the least, especially as I set myself a high standard of capturing more than one Photo a day - but also rewarding. Setting yourself a challenge, whether it's following the 52 week photography challenges that are out there, or doing a themed challenge such as 365 breakfasts - is a great way of expanding on your portfolio. Whilst it sometimes means that you struggle to find anything interesting to photograph or share, on the days that you do, you're one step closer to building another aspect of your portfolio.
Next week in Photography Troubleshooting - we will be looking at Money Matters and so

Hi ^SylwiaTelari, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
I'm a creation addict... and my name is Sylwia (: My personality and interests are clearly visible in what and how I do; a bit twisted, with a creepy shell, sometimes rigid, but I tend to hide a smile in details that require your search.
I'm crazy about trying new things and techniques and what you can see in my dA gallery is just a tip of an iceberg.
What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?
It's traditional (: Anything I do has a connection to the past and it gives me a chill when I think that some of the techni

:iconpica-ae:
Hi ^pica-ae, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
- Hi! I am a web designer form Hamburg, Germany. In my spare time I have always enjoyed doing any kind of art. When I was smaller I started with Watercolors and moved on to Oil, before I went to design school and focused mostly on digital art.
My style… I am not sure I found it yet. Well, I am always looking for it, tho! I see finding one's style as a constant struggle. In my works you can find lots of bright colors, very often things are kept simple, minimal maybe in content or simple in composition. Mostly I try to keep away from

Today it's the talented ^kiwi-pdd, Community volunteer for Street Art

:iconkiwi-pdd:
Hi ^kiwi-pdd, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
The name I go under is Kiwi. The style of art I produce is usually
labeled as street art. I produce canvases using spraypaint and stencils
cut out of card/paper, also hand drawn stickers for trade/placement on
the street.
What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?

My answer is twofold to that one. Firstly the joy of creating something physical and real that can be held and admired from multiple angles. Secondly my complete ineptitude when it comes to image manipulation software

“Creativity is knowing how to hide your sources”
- Albert Einstein
I don't know about you, but Light Painting has to be really unique and awesome in order to impress me. So when I stumbled across the work of Darren Pearson aka Darren Twin - I was astounded at the creativity and simple methods used to create his conceptual photographic pieces. Darren creates LED pictures of Skeletons Skateboarding, dancing and living - exploring what the Mail Online has termed as the bare bones of our daily lives. And it really is precisely that. Darren takes the ordinary, the mundane and the normal of everyday life and lights it up by night by painting bones. Check it out for yourself. That prompted me to go searching for some of my favourite light painted pieces here

Today it's the delightful ^Astralseed, your Community Volunteer for Traditional Art

:iconAstralseed:
Hi ^Astralseed, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
Hi I'm Katy and I am not very good at talking about myself

. As far as my art style goes, I don't really feel that I have a particular style so to speak. I like to dabble in any and all areas of art which I possibly can and just absorb it all like a sponge. I think the style will follow eventually when I am more comfortable with the basics.
What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?
Traditional art offers a lot of variety and options.

There's something new in town...For a long while now, I've been itching to create a group that encompasses the whole of the People & Portraits Photography Gallery. After chatting it through with ^3wyl today, we decided to launch one - and so ~PeopleAndPortraits was born! It's for every single sub-gallery of People and Portraits Photography. Every single one. You'll find a folder for every one of them and you'll find that you can submit not one but TWO works a week to each one. What else are we giving you...well...

The chance to show case your work by having it submitted to the group

Capture YOUR Pumpkin: The Results!

Sun Nov 18, 2012, 11:09 AM

The Capture Your Pumpkin Contest has ended and the results are in! We had a fantastic turnout with LOTS of entries. You can browse them all here! But there can only be a few winners - and we've got them listed for you below! Congratulations everyone!

The Best 'Captured' Pumpkin

*LureofSalvage
We felt that as well as deserving Third Place, *LureofSalvage's pumpkin also deserved to be the best captured winner. Not only did they get creative with their setting, but they also fit the bill of Still Life Photography almost spot on! Well done!

The Most Creative Dish

~melijan
By far the clear winner for this category was ~melijan's Oreo Pumpkin Tarts. Whilst the idea sounds quite disgusting, ~melijan made it and captured it wonderfully to make a tasty looking still life photography treat.

The Most Creative Carving

~khiralfaythily
This was a beautiful carving and whilst there were many in the gallery, including an awesome pentax camera, we felt that ~khiralfaythily's carving was smooth, precise and wonderfully captured to show it off at its best.

Congratulations to everyone who entered, all those who got creative and snapped their pumpkins and huge thanks to all the judges for carefully and precisely going through all the entries. It took a lot of time due to how awesome they all were - but hopefully you'll enjoy the results just as much as we do!
