This month's PhotoLust newsletter is about more than just exposing photographers. As well as featuring the month's 'PhotoLust's Unknowns' there's also a selection of tutorials from the PhotoLust gallery to help you improve your photography (whether you've just started using your first camera or you're an experienced photographer wanting to try new things), a brief introduction to a few great photography clubs on DA and links to some really useful free photography tutorial sites from elsewhere on the web. Enjoy!

:heart: DA PHOTOGRAPHY CLUBS :heart:

*RestlessPhotographer
In their own words..."We are a group of photgraphers who love photography. We would like for this to be a place for people to meet and share their art. We will have contests and monthly features to fill our gallery. Hopefully this can be a community where we will learn from each other.

We accept all types of photography, as long as it is quality work. We do accept mature content, so if you do not want to see these submissions, we suggest you not watch the deviations."



~PhotoAddicted
In their own words..."We are not the masters of photography, ~PhotoAddicted is a community for everybody who loves photography and want to improve their works. But we don't want you to send just some works, we want you to send us your best works!

What we wish with this community is to share ideas, thoughts, tricks and so."



~unknownphotographers
In their own words..."The concept of "Unknown Photographers" is inspired by the Unknown Artists program and ~theunknownartists, where many unknown artists can come together and have their art recognized. UA is a wonderful program but it is for all art medias; the Unknown Photographers is specifically for photographers to have their photographs noticed.

Here at UNKNOWN||Photographers, we strive for photographs that are not "the best" but our best. This group is not only for photographers to post their art, also to improve with the critques of others. You do not have to be a photographer to join as a "critic." At UNKNOWN||Photographers our aim is to not only show our accomplishments off but also to improve."



*OneClickPhoto
In their own words..."This club was created to eliminate boundaries in photography universe. B/W, color, digital, everything is alowed here."


*photo-genius
In their own words..."We are a group of photographers that aim to create an enjoyable community involving all aspects of photography."


*ThePhotoCritic
In their own words..."Our mission is to enrich the photography community by promoting meaningful comments and critiques. By providing positive feedback, we are able to help fellow photographers grow and improve thier skills, as well as giving them the needed encouragement to keep creating! This club will also serve to provide a little more publicity for it's members!"


*asos
In their own words..."A Second of Significance celebrates the meaning behind the photo.
This is a club for photographers of any skill level."



*HotBed
In their own words..."Is a club that wish to promote photographers and to create community within our members. We'd like to be something more than just anonymous icons on your acoounts"


*Photography-reviewed
In their own words..."This is a community both for photographers and people learning about photography.

The goal of this club is to get members to upload their photos and give a short review on how they made it (technique, composition, lightning,...) so that other people can learn from it."



This one isn't a club, but it's definitely worth a mention. Check out this cool new photography project...

*photoXpose
PhotoXpose features photographers (a new artist in each journal) with profiles and mini-galleries of their work. It's a new project but is off to a great start and is very worthy of support and definitely worth a watch.

Thanks so much! I wanted to do something more than just a selection of thumbs and figured that since PhotoLust is about inspiring artists and helping people to improve their photography it'd be cool to feature some useful links as well :)
