This group will be migrated to the new design soon. Please contact the group admins to start the migration and save content the group may lose access to.

Welcome!

We want to encourage and support every level of photographer on dA, from beginner to seasoned and everything in between. If you love photography for it's own sake, please get involved by submitting your photos!

Our group is experiencing Admin inactivity. All submissions are now automatically approved.
If you'd like to help us out (become an admin), please send a message and we'll get back to you asap.

BEFORE submitting your photography please understand the six points below.

:bulletpink: WE HAVE A BAN ON THE dA WATERMARK
We banned the dA watermark long ago. A Deviant will be asked to remove the dA watermark of a submission while it is attached. In doing this, we also ban any large watermarks/signatures that may be present on a submission - as that is the point of banning the dA watermark. To read the journal covering this topic, go here -> casualphotography.deviantart.c…

:bulletgreen: We do not collect photo-manipulations. That's not to say all photos that have the word "Photoshop" in the metadata are automatically rejected! Everyone touches up their work a little, it's the painfully obvious edits that we try to weed out. This isn't the group for photography that has been obviously manipulated. It should be pretty clear what we allow by just browsing through the group galleries.
Also, please remember that photography with text placed on top will likely be removed. (not including your signature/stamp)

:bulletblue: Although we don't expect your submissions to be complete photographic masterpieces(although they are welcome too), we do have basic criteria by which to judge them. Your submitted photograph should show evidence that you have thought about such things as composition, focus, lighting, and depth of field. In other words: Your submissions won't be snapshots, and you have put in the effort to produce a photograph to be proud of.

:bulletred: Pay attention to the gallery you're submitting to! We have a wide variety of gallery folders with clear titles; Some can easily fit in to more than one gallery so keep in mind what the focus/subject of the photograph is when submitting.

:bulletpurple: You can't submit to the 'Featured' folder. The folder is for deviations that have been featured by the group (in journals).

:bulletwhite: Artistic Nude - For those adult deviants who prefer the maturity filter 'off', we have a collection of artistic nudes, which are firmly judged based on their artistic merit, as well as technical quality, composition, and other aspects that make up our gallery standards. Explicit sexuality will not be accepted. You can submit up to 5 deviations to this gallery folder per week.

:bulletorange: We don't collect macabre photography. Please don't submit it or anything horror related.

:bulletblack: The Moderators of CasualPhotography reserve the right to remove and deviation that doesn't comply with the above points. On most occasions the Deviant will be informed their deviation was removed.

You can submit 10 deviations per week to any gallery folder besides Artistic Nude.

Happy snapping! :peace:=)

Now that I've got your attention.
TLDR: Need new admins, continue reading for that or skip to bottom for general message.
This group needs a new team of admins to take care of day-to-day tasks and manage the submissions and member comments etc etc.
Benefits: Submit more deviations per week, get your name/avatar on the group under "Administrators" section, get to decide whether submissions do or don't enter the group, have something with a little purpose to do while you're on dA, not much else really. Cons: You'll be expected to be active.
Send me a DM/PM or whatever it is on dA if you're serious about it.
If you're less serious, reply to this journal entry.
I'm looking for experienced group admins.
With a few admins, it won't take much effort or time to keep things under control here.

Thanks for being a member of CasualPhotography
Lot's of good photos submitted this year and a lot of regular not so artistic ones, too.
Stay safe for the rest of your holiday season if you get a holiday. If you don't get holidays then you better get back to work.
Happy new year.
Sincerely

Active in that it automatically approves deviation -> gallery requets.
But like the latest Journal post explains, I'm looking for mods/admins/contributors or whatever.
There were a few but they all went MIA.
Thanks for asking hope you find some nice stuff here
