About my photostream

1. My work is copyrighted, so please ask permission to use it it any way. I do not post my images full-resolution on Flickr and most are watermarked.
My work is not to be reproduced or copied in any way whatsoever without written consent from me first.
I'll only be happy if you contact me before you use my images...I'm usually happy to be blogged but please ask first before using my images in anything beyond the average blog. Thanks!
---Quite a few people have asked if they can mention my work in their dissertations and studies. I am always happy to help in this way, to provide pics and answer questions, so just email!

2. I read all Flickrmail and I do try to make sure I respond at all of them, especially ones with questions... but please don't be offended if I don't reply, nothing personal, just quite alot to get through when they accumulate and I can't keep up!
It’s best to email me instead of Flickrmailing. I'm more likely to answer that way - because Flickrmail (no folders, no original message insertion, no search facility, general uselessness...) is such a pain in the arse. contact@missaniela.com
Thanks!

3. Feel free to add me as a contact, there's no need to ask first, unless you have unmoderated (such as pornographic) image on your stream.
I am not interested in people whose streams feature pictures grabbed from the internet or even stolen from other artists.

4. I appreciate all the comments on my pictures, I enjoying reading all of them no matter how many comments there are on a pic or how 'late' they come... I will try to reply to questions where I can, and I am always grateful for comments even if I don't thank you directly! :-)

5. I am always on the lookout for interesting locations in the South East of the UK, so get in touch if you can help!

FAQ
I get quite a few emails from people which ask me to answer their questions in detail, I thought the best thing to do was to provide this list of frequently asked questions, which I hope people can look at first before emailing me...

1. Where are you from and what do you do for a living?
I am a full-time photographer.

2. Who taught you photography/did you study it?
I have not studied photography as such but developed a passion for it in my own time.

3. Do you take all your pictures yourself?
Yes, all of them, unless otherwise stated. Most of my Flickr uploading is self-portraiture that is all taken unassisted unless otherwise stated. Sometimes my boyfriend helps out.

4. What camera do you use?
I am now using a Canon 40D. I still use my Sony R1, which I used for the majority of pics you see on my stream.

5. How do you do a ‘clone’ shot?
I have been asked this many times but it really is not secret as to how to clone oneself in an image. It is a simple process of taking two or three images of oneself in different areas of the same frame (ideally mount your camera on a tripod) and layering each figure into one frame on Photoshop using the pen tool and moving the layers into the master composite. I use Photoshop CS3.
I like to think the science of ‘cloning’ is not the be-all and end-all of my surreal self-portraits. As with any clever photographic method, or photography itself, it is about other aspects such as lighting, colour, costume, imagination and general idiosyncrasy that the creator brings to the image.
There are many discussion and tutorial threads on Flickr, and indeed on the Internet more widely, that can help you.

9. Are you Polish?
I am half Polish, 'Aniela' is my middle name. And it is pronounced 'Ann-yella', not ‘Ann-eel-ia’.

10. Can you point me out to any useful tutorials?
Nope.
