10 Easy Steps On How To Create A Good Photography Portfolio
Christian VasileCreating a showcase of photographs is not an easy task and most of the time the photographers have basic or no knowledge of design at all. Moreover, creating such a portfolio in which the images have to be in focus is a tricky task and even the more experienced designers might fail providing a good layout, therefore I thought of sharing with you a list of tips for designing photography portfolios.

The focus has to be on pictures, not on content, while the normal way of designing, with the header, content box, sidebar and footer changes totally from a layout to another. The more inspired and original you can be, the better your design will be. When you are a photographer, it is very important to have a platform where you can show clients your work - this has the same importance as for a web designer.

How to Achieve Lomography Effects Through Photoshop

Because everything is made of plastic (yes, including the lens), the lomo camera does everything it's not supposed to do: saturated colors, high contrast, off hues, vignettes, blurs, and more.

50 EPIC Examples Of Street Art That Will Blow You Away
FaizaAn artist needs no permission to display his art and his creativity has no boundaries. Street art is a perfect illustration of this aspect in artists.

Is the Art of Photography Dying Due to Digitalization?
luanne_manrealPhotography has been my hobby ever since I got a hold of my very first camera, a Kodak C310. I think that was the start of the exponential advancement in the technology of digital cameras. After that, I received a Canon DIGITAL IXUS 80 IS.
