Our Newest Photographer Is Chris Cafferkey,From: Loughbrough, United Kingdom

Below she will tell us a bit about herself, and her fotography:

I'm a photographer with a passion for nature and wildlife, but interested in other forms of photography as well. I love designing these products, and hope you like my store.
The fire art is very special. The photos are of a man using kevlar rope which is dipped in paraffin and set alight, then whirled around while I take long exposure shots. You won't find these anywhere else! If you know someone who loves fire these are the gifts for you.
You can mix and match products, and if designing your room, think about matching your office mug, mouse mat, and even ipad case. Interior designing could take on a whole new look! Check out the various departments for matching products, but if you see a design you want and can't find the product just contact me and I'll see what I can do for you.
All my designs are based on my own photography. I use them sometimes as they are, but others are digitally manipulated to produce original art I hope you love!
You can customize any of my designs to suit your needs. Change or add text, change the picture, it's up to you how you want your product to look. If you're happy with my design, ordering couldn't be easier. Discounts are available for multiple orders. Please enjoy looking around my store and tell all your friends about where they can get a unique gift for themselves.

Our Latest Fotographer Is BeBops From Upstate New York

Below We Will Learn More About Bebop's Work:

My name is Bebops. I have been taking pictures all my life. My father and grandfather were both professional photographers and I worked in their darkrooms as a teenager. I think that is how I came to love digital post-production. Here are three of my favorite photos but I have to admit, I love everything I have posted!
My favorite Pastimes are gardening, reading, photography, cinema, music and exploring the wild natural world.

Our Newest Photographer Is Steve Crompton From: Staffordshire, United Kingdom

A bit about himself and his work, along with clickable fotos below, that will link to products on his Zazzle Store:

I've been a 'serious' photographer now for over 30 years, and in that time I've owned and/or used all sorts of equipment from 35mm to 5"x4" format. Now I use Canon digital SLR's almost exclusively, although many of the images I use in my Zazzle products were shot on film as long ago as 1979. Digital is responsible even for the film shots being in my store - thanks to a film scanner.
Favourite subjects to photograph are probably anything in nature; stormy skies, landscapes and the creatures which inhabit those landscapes. Having said that though, I'll photograph pretty much anything which I think will make a good image.
I like to do as much as possible 'in camera' when taking photographs, however because I shoot in RAW and don't use any auto adjustments, styles etc. the images tend to look extremely bland on first viewing; they then need to be processed to get them to match what I was seeing and thinking when I pressed the shutter button. Some images can be very difficult when it comes to the processing stage, it's almost as though the image you want to finish up with is trapped inside the one you're looking at - you've just got to figure out how to release it.
The image processing part is largely no different than how it was in the darkroom, except we can now do things which we could only really dream of in a darkroom - and without all the mess and those expensive wasted prints.

Today, Our Newest Fotographer Is MLeWallpapers

Below, they will describe their work, followed by "Clickable Fotos", that will take you to their Zazzle Store:

At MLeWallpapers.com we're a husband and wife team that started out just wanting to share our photography with the world. I (Emily) consider myself the creative director - I take most of the pictures and pick out which ones we're going to use for the website and for products.

My philosophy about photography isn't about the perfect camera and lens - it's about capturing the beauty of nature as you see it. I like to take a nice portable camera on hikes. We do a lot of traveling, mostly to national parks and other scenic places, and I just can't keep from taking pictures!I like to "shoot quick" and then adjust the fotos later, if need be.  Panasonic is the camera that I currently use.

Our Newest Photographer Is Mike Of Mountain View, California

Below he will tell us about his work, and following will be some of his Fotos, that you can click on to go to his Zazzle Store to see the actual products:

I stuck a toe in the water in 2007 when I bought a nice P&S digital camera. I soon caught the bug, and upgraded to a full DSLR setup 1.5 years later.

I enjoy the ability to use the camera capture and enhance something of visual interest, like a sunrise or a bird in flight. Recently I've started experimenting with HDR processing for even more control over the images I take.

Last year I started a zazzle store to show off my images.

Our Newest Photographer Is Francisco Moreno

Below he will tell us about himself, his photography, and we will have links to his work, as well as to his store on Zazzle:

My name is Francisco. I have unique and original photographs and artwork from plants like cacti and succulents. I travel to various regions and photograph interesting subjects of nature, landscape, plants and places of interest.

I enjoy capturing the natural beauty of plants and places in photographs. I particularly love the wide variety of colors and shapes of succulent plants, these little plants are a passion to me and I have a good collection of them.

Also I’m interested in other topics like extreme sports, rock climbing and falconry.

Traveling into many places has given me the opportunity to capture places, and moments plentiful of life.

Below are three of his fotos, showing these plants:

Our Newest Photographer Is Mark Tisdale of Atlanta

The following is what he has to say about himself, and his work:


Photography has gradually become my life. I first got interested in photography after traveling abroad for the first time in 2004. I got a lot of nice feedback on my travel snaps. Whether it was warranted or not, it got me interested in photography as more than just point and shoot happy snaps. I started trying to learn more and pretty soon advanced to my first d SLR. I've taken one class, an intro for the basics, but everything else has been self taught.

A year ago, I left a stable job that had passed unfulfilling and was headed into parts unknown on the scale of human dissatisfaction. Insane to do in this economy,but I sold my house and have gotten a little additional traveling in and continue to work at making photography and to some degree travel my life.

Below are some of his photos with links to those products in Zazzle:
