i'm going to be posting many shoots, for the first time in a long time. hooray! this account is still getting attention, when i'd semi-retired it two or so years ago... might as well bring it back, as i've been working as a photographer long enough to have quite a bit of run-off. i appreciate the kind attention this account has received over the years, and love to support budding artists, which is often what my stock seems to be used for; hope anyone who would like can find a little inspiration, and i'll soon be putting up a journal with details on readily available props and models to take requests if they're inspiring enough.

My main art page is here-=Smash-ChaOtik.


I have a few rules and a few thoughts, and i'd appreciate if everything stayed simple by rules being followed. That’s about all.

first rule of stock; the changes from the original must be noticeable. you may use these for drawing reference, paint reference, or photomanips- not for other stock(dA has actually made rules against that, now, anyway)- if you move it to scraps later, that's fine. if it's an inspiration for poetry or the photo image you're allowed to include with poetry, that's fine too. just CREDIT ME. i'd appreciate a link here, to my stock account, in form of an icon - you do that like this; : icon chaosstock : , without the spaces. and always, ALWAYS let me know when you use my work! i will ALWAYS fave it i love to support art.

limitations! i will not have anything done that's pornographic(you can note me with a copy of your NOT-YET-POSTED work and your argument if you think you have a good one); nothing hateful, unless it's a strong statement and again, you write me first to convince me... and the kicker-nothing insulting to the models. NEVER. that one will not be arguable. if i find a piece used in an insulting manner, no matter what it may be, you will be fully reported with no warning. there is NO excuse.
oh, and nothing sexual at all in any of my photos of minors. i will not compromise that. their parents trusted me as a photographer, and that's that. i will do NOTHING that will AT ALL compromise photographer-client respect. in fact i should add that any arguments on the above subjects will be also presented to the model-as it's not always myself-before you're given a yes or no on your request.

PRINTS... i've been, at times, given permission to make a print out of a piece i made with stock. that's great! it can't be close to the original photo, though, and permission will be granted on a case-by-case basis. normally, though, you'll be able to bribe me to allow any print that isn't hateful or insulting by sending me a small copy it costs you a couple of bucks for a 4x6 or 5x7; won't hurt your wallet too badly. thanks.
