I love your work! :) One day I'll learn to take amazing photographs like you.... :)) I sketch a lot too, but i'm not as goood as you. When did you start doing all this? Any tips on how to improve?

Thanks! :) I’ve been into photography ever since I was a freshman in high school, and now I just graduated, so it’s been 4 years! As for sketching, I started when I was a junior! So it’s just my second year since I started! 

My advice for you is to keep practicing. That’s all there is to it. You’ll learn a lot along the way, and if you get any opportunities for photography, make sure to take them! Use the internet as a guide! I’m self-taught, so the things I wanted to learn, I just searched on the internet. That’s pretty much it! Good luck! :)

Please.. teach us how you edit your photos. :| Especially, your editing on fashion. :)

Well, I haven’t even had any fashion photos, unless you count my shoot with Ed & Bea (The biker & plaid shoot) as fashion. When I edit, I use a program called Alien Skin Exposure 3.0. It can be a stand alone program, but in my case it’s a plug-in for Photoshop. You should get the program because it’s definitely user-friendly. It has all sorts of presets for black & white, vintage, contrast, etc. Go ahead and try it out, if you still have a hard time with it, I’ll gladly help you out, just let me know! :)

Hey, regarding the starburst question, there's a filter that does it, I think it's called an 8-point star or something like that. Without a filter, it can also be achieved by adjusting the camera setting to a larger aperture, around f/16 or more. It's going to be a pretty dark shot, but still works. :)

Cool, so there also is a filter for it! Another person said the same thing about the aperture, so I guess we can get the effect without the filter! Thanks! :)

do you think that some people and some places are too inadequate for your art?

You guys suck! Whoever posted this question! Hahaha! But it’s obviously Erica…

To anon (and you) asking about the sunburst thing: you use a really small aperture.

Oh yeaah! That makes sense. Haha! Cool! I never knew that! I gotta try that out.

Do you know how to add a starburst like this to photos in Photoshop? Thanks man! http://www2.clikpic.com/Andewick/images/Sun_Starburst_78LL_DDF258CB-1D09-001F-99416614E480C0A1.jpg

Sorry, but I’m not so sure. Maybe it’s a filter? Or maybe it’s a feature in the camera. I’ve seen some cameras that can convert sources of light into starburts!
