My photos as a Reference...?I receive many request for using my photos as a reference for drawings, paintings, tattoos etc.
Usually it's fine with me and I've enjoyed some wonderful creations based on my photography.
I thought it might be a nice idea to feature some of these artworks in my journal or blog. (I will put my photo and your work next to each other, so that people can see inspiration vs new creation)
So if you ever made something based on one of my photos, a link (comment on this journal) would be appreciated and maybe you'll find your work in some of my future blogs / journals

The rules according to reference use can be found in my signature, but since I get asked so often here they are again:
♥ Yes, You can use my photos as a reference for drawings/paintings etc.
♥ For commercial use, please send me a note
♥ My photos aren't stock, so photo manipulations of my work are not allowed.
♥ Proper credits (link back to the original) are appreciated

♥ And I'd love to see the result, so please let me know (through a note)when your artwork is finished.

What I like best about these works is the creativity that's put into it, which adds a lot.
This way the painting is often more beautiful than the reference!

I forgot to show you also something I loosely based of one of my favourite photographies from you [link] It was a very fast scribble^^

Met verwondering heb ik naar je foto's gekeken. Wat een mooie platen!
En wat ben ik blij om te lezen dat je je foto's beschikbaar stelt voor kunst.
Nu komt alleen de moeilijke taak om te kiezen met welke ik zou willen beginnen...

I've been wanting to use one of your fox photos as a reference... The issue is deciding which one! XD I love your work, simply beautiful!

~rami13500 Jun 24, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

Each work is fun and beautifull.
But I really love the drawing about the fox named "A l'aise" !
