New: Interior Styling Group

I'm excited to announce a new, inspirational group I've created over on Flickr called Interior Styling for both budding and seasoned interior stylists (maybe you?) who want to share photos, participate in discussions in the group forum, and participate in once monthly challenges that will begin in January - each challenge will be announced on the 1st of the month but you have to join the group to read the forum and participate!

Challenges will include specifics that I'll ask members to incorporate into one of their photos -- colors, patterns, themes, etc. Members do not have to participate, the challenges are optional and meant to be fun giving you a chance to show your skills and stretch your creative legs a bit!

Photos should be styled and photographed by you and also show your best work - the goal is to build a group of stylists and stylists-in-training who can support one another, learn, grow and of course share their talent.

I just started the group a few hours ago, so there are not a lot of photos yet in the group pool but this one from Adore Vintage, a group member, really stood out as an outstanding example of what I mean by a styled shot. A photo where you've carefully arranged items and then photographed that arrangement. It can be of pottery you've arranged on a shelf or your entire living room -- the goal is to submit photos that you're proud of and that you took time and imagination to style and shoot.

Have fun, see you in the Interior Styling group!
