The Senior Photo Album
Welcome to the Senior Photo Album. Our goal each issue is to expose you to new, incredible artists and art. In between each section of news in this issue of The Senior 'Stache, you'll get to see 3 pages of the Senior Photo Album as we highlight some amazing artists on deviantART. In this issue, ALL of the featured deviants responded to our requests for interview, and in this jam-packed feature article we'll bring you some of their thoughts as well as our favorite pictures from their galleries!
The Senior Photo Album would like your ideas! Please send us your suggestions, deviations, and theme ideas so we can make them part of a future feature article. Send a note to `cypher-neo with the Subject "Senior Photo Album Suggestion". All notes will be responded to.



*Helen-Stifler describes herself as a spontaneous artist who gets inspiration from lots of sources, including "films, music, drawings, sometimes even in the nature." She has a "considerable quantity of ideas that I can't sometimes remember all of them." Her path towards art is a continuous adventure for her since she says: "inspiration comes to me unexpectedly as though in a spark in my head suddenly lights up!"



*Helen-Stifler's favorite deviation is the first image on the top row. Why? She doesn't know. She just likes it all: the color, the composition, her hair... and the burning butterfly!



*Helen-Stifler's last words of advice to everyone? "Never refuse to be creative only because someone has written the negative comment on your work. Try to correct the defects and to be improved... Don't be sensitive to criticism."

Please remember to suggest your favorite deviations for the Senior Photo Album to feature. It's as easy as sending a note to `cypher-neo with your suggestions!
Our second featured deviant is =Lord-Kevinz! His gallery represents many wonderful galleries here on dA including Horror & Macabre, Classic Portraits, Glamour, and many others!



During his interview, =Lord-Kevinz described himself as a "creative artist" and his art as "emotive thought, not really any definition of art, just thoughts in his head that he lets the pictures speak." He gets his inspiration "from surfing the internet and from movies." He believes that there's lots of inspiration to be tapped into everyday.



His favorite deviation is . i'll never see you again featured in the top row of his pictures. "It's unique from what other artists did on deviantART, and I'm kinda proud of the blood work."



Last thoughts from =Lord-Kevinz? "I believe that everyone has the skill to improve their work. My suggestions is to continue working on your art. Be different; it doesn't matter if you don't have a good camera to take a picture, if you're still created something new."

The third deviant featured and interviewed in our issue is ~RaBBiTKa!



Describing her gallery as a whole ~RaBBiTKa says it is "very, very colorful. I always try to combine different hues of colors and simply experiment with them. Many times it happens that there's cuteness involved too..."



Her favorite picture is the first picture in the top row of her pictures. "Detail" is unique among waterdrop pictures because the interaction between the focus and depth of field is stunning.



Get to know your camera, it will help you reach better effects. With knowing your camera, you'll also know how to set the proper settings without being obliged to put it on the auto mode. Play around with Photoshop a bit and spice up your photos!
