About Damien Franco / Damien Franco

Follow Me On Twitter! @damienfranco

Working as a photographer has given me great joy over the past decade. I adore flickr as an opportunity to share my passion with everyone who's interested.

I also author the Your Photo Tips website that is dedicated to helping photographers hone their craft.

If you interested in possibly having one of your images highlighted in the website you can join the flickr group Your Photo Tips Flickr Group. We feature at least one photograph per article with links to the photographer's flickr stream.

Furthermore, if you are interested in writing an article for Your Photo Tips you can contact me through my flickrmail.

We also started another website to help guide photographers in marketing which can be found at yourphotopromo.com.

Or you can contact me via my personal blog Damien Franco dot Com where I write about my experiences and thoughts on the artistic side of photography. It's a personal blog.

Often times, images from my flickr stream may get deleted. This is simply due to either "cleaning" the stream or it means that I have added that image to the website where I sell my prints through and may have been changed (usually so little you would never tell). At that time I usually end up re-posting the image with a link to purchase the image. Thanks for being patient with this process of mine.

If you're curious (and you should be) the site I sell my prints through, DiscoveredArtists markets to art buyers and collectors rather than the average consumer! You should check it out if you're interested in selling your artwork.

ashley feng says:

"Wow, your work is incredible."

ANNA.LOGOPHOBIA says:

"there is such integrity in damien's work and his view on how it should be received. i completely share his opinions on not posting banners or crude copy-paste-awards. but there is more than just that type of integrity; i find myself feeling that each image has such a vastly powerful storytelling element and that each image almost states it's rightful purpose. the SHEER emotion in his pictures and his true eye for portraiture makes him a strong photographer and one of my favourite streams.
combined with wit, minimalism, sense for colour-combination and compostion his work many times just reaches pure excellence. certainly someone to keep an eye on; keep it up!"

"Not only is Damien Franco a consummate photographer who teaches through his work. Simply by looking at his images one learns about the basics of color and form.

Thank you for sharing your passion with us, as well as educating and inspiring other aspiring photographers.

Regards,
Lorenzo!

"I look at "Cognitive State of Mind's" photos and I see Art. His compositions come alive through his lighting and technique. His photostream is a pleasure to view."

akhater says:

"He calls himself "A Cognitive State of Mind" for me it is rather "A beautiful mind"
His pictures aren't "usual" but very deeply thought off and greatly composed.

Thanks for the inspiration"
