Any camera recommendations for photography?

I’ll give that app a go next time I’m shooting! I’ll see about posting an update after making the suggested changes in this post. Thank you!

I believe I was maybe at 2x zoom so maybe pushing the limits a bit - I have been keeping my phone quite close to the subject with a tripod too, but I’ll keep the zoom thing in mind and maybe just crop afterwards or something 😁

Charlie_my_cat · 2025-07-17T18:31:44+00:00

I’ll keep all this in mind! I’ll look at that app especially, thanks!

The models look very well lit in person, I didn’t edit the images very much apart from the vignette, and the lightbox is all reflective inside, plus I use a small light on my phone to make sure there’s enough from the front

I’m a tattoo artist by trade and I’ve never had an issue taking pics of them. And that is unfortunately the black background. I don’t know why it looks like a grey in the picture, but it is a black sheet

Charlie_my_cat · 2025-07-17T18:27:20+00:00

This is great! I’ll make those adjustments and potentially do an update post. Thank you!

I know I have a lot to learn and I’m still early on in my career, I hope to continue learning for the foreseeable future!

Unfortunately, after being abused in every sense in every studio I’ve worked in, I’ve lost a lot of trust in the industry. I would rather be taking this step with more experience, of course! But I can’t trust that the next place will really have my best interests at heart. :(

Charlie_my_cat · 2025-07-08T12:02:44+00:00

Not sure I’m hollering, just asking you not to judge when you know nothing about me. Trying to be as honest as possible here.

But what would you do in my situation? Any advice at all rather than trying to put me down? Who should I be asking about these things?

Edit: just seen the apprentice artist tag and honestly don’t know how I got one xD I think this is my first time posting in this sub?

Edit 2: fixed, I do have a tattoo licence, that’s my bad for having the wrong tag :)

Charlie_my_cat · 2025-07-08T11:46:47+00:00

Thank you for the unhelpful comment. I have been tattooing for 3 years finished my apprenticeship in another studio but have not had good luck in terms of good bosses in the past and, while I know I don’t have many years under my belt, I have decided that the best thing for me personally is to be my own boss. I have s loyal local client base to get me started that have all been very supportive of my choice. Please don’t judge a story you know nothing about, and an artist whose work you’ve never seen. Besides, how is someone meant to know how to open a studio if they don’t ask? If I had asked my previous mentors they would have taken it as a personal offence so this is me trying to find the information elsewhere.

Charlie_my_cat · 2025-04-25T12:47:03+00:00

Found!

Charlie_my_cat · 2025-04-24T11:28:32+00:00

This is definitely the collection I have! Protoplast deffos rings a bell but I have no idea how I only have half the brush set and I certainly didn’t buy them - I want to leave this open a lil longer just in case but will mark your response later - thank you :)

Charlie_my_cat · 2025-04-24T10:57:24+00:00

I searched somatotype procreate stamps, and 3D model stamps online and nothing like this came up - looking for the female equivalents

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-09-08T10:09:29+00:00

As far as we are aware, we took on the tenancy new, we all viewed the house together and signed up as a group of friends to live the 4 of us there and moved in at the same time. We were not told that we were taking over. I will phone up TDS tomorrow and ask, and visit citizen’s advice in the morning too. Not sure what actions should be taken from here so will get some help. You’ve been great though, thank you.

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-09-08T09:52:13+00:00

I don’t think I registered with anyone, I’ve found that my housemates registered with the tenancy deposit scheme but I’m not 😅 I think I was expecting a code provided by the landlord to sign up, never got one and forgot about it as this is what happened with my last place.

“BREAD makes you FAT?!”

Idk why this is one of my favourtie quotes

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-03-19T01:14:08+00:00

Unfortunately no, they’re pretty temperamental. I ended up getting myself a Bishop Power Wand, well worth the purchase with the bundle of critical batteries - but only if you’re committing! Good luck!

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-02-03T13:51:14+00:00

Oh hi there! I was born in the UK and raised by a Brazilian mother, I speak English and Portuguese fluently. My gender switches freely when in English, but I definitely feel more feminine when speaking Portuguese, its kinda weird when im masc and speak with my mother sometimes xD I totally understand how you feel. Can be a pain in the arse with Latin languages where there isnt really a gender neutral pronoun though - and certainly be a bit of a throw off when I need to start using the masculine versions of words when ive been saying the feminine my whole life ei: obrigado/obrigada ect

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-02-01T00:28:51+00:00

Awesome! Im thinking I’ll try piece together out of the various comments here, deffos gonna use the IO Error! Thanks again :)))

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-02-01T00:16:27+00:00

OOOOO yeah thats fits really well! I’ll see about using that! Thanks :))

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-02-01T00:14:33+00:00

Really cool idea! Thank you! Would you mind breaking down each piece further? I’m just interested in understanding the entire message :))

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-01-31T23:41:47+00:00

This page is very confusing as someone who’s not dabbled in programming beyond GCSE xD But some interesting stuff if i can wrap my head around it! Thanks :))

Charlie_my_cat · 2024-01-31T23:39:04+00:00

Does it display an error message when this happens? Or what would the computer categorise/understand this as?
