TokuNation.com Looking For Photographers
 

Do you like to take pictures of your collection? Are you proud of some of the harder to find pieces that you've managed to collect? Would you like to share them with the tokusatsu world?

Then a position within TokuNation.com's Photo Staff might be something to consider!

We've opened up a few positions on our photo staff and are looking for individuals with a fondness for photography, and taking pictures of their tokusatsu collections, to fill them!

By joining our photo staff, you become part of one of the fastest growing tokusatsu communities in TokuNation, in the LARGEST fan-run network, The 2005 Network (home of sites like TFW2005.com, HissTank.com, and ToyArk.com), on the Internet today! Your galleries are also posted in our gallery section, which houses over a 100 different galleries to date! They are automatically frontpaged for the whole community to see, and links are automatically thrown up on our Facebook page as well as twitter feed. And there's even more in store in the future for our photo crew!

How do you join? It's simple! If you haven't already, register on TokuNation.com by following this link. Once you've done that, send a private message to Kickback, the site owner, with a link to some of the pictures you've taken.

That's it! Your pictures will be reviewed by site administration and you will be contacted within a couple of days!

Please use this thread to ask any questions. Myself, Den-O, conundrum, and MoonBaseTom will do our best to answer any questions you might have :)

Thanks!

Sent in my application :D. If more pics are needed, I'd be willing to provide some :D

I take bribes in all forms.

Shhhh don't tell Kickback ;)

I doubt my pics are good enough, but I'll apply for the fun of it.

I don't have a decent camera.
Which is a shame, because I have some very photogenic figures in my collection.

We do have some standards that we like to push in terms of lighting and backdrops, as a white background looks better in nearly every photo possible (except if said figure is mostly white, then a black or even dark blue background tends to photo better).

But we encourage anyone interested to go ahead and send in some work! We can never have too many photo crew :)

If anyone needs any tips or pointers before they send in photos, feel free to PM me. I'd be more than happy to provide some constructive criticism.

I need to learn to do some post processing, especially when I use a white backdrop.

would love to help...the link on my signature has my photography on it.

What kind of editing software do you have? (If any).

I have a simple program that can do some basic manipulation, mainly I use it for cropping.

I have some pretty vague familiarity with Gimp, but it's been a long time since I used it.

Best of luck to all applicants.

Sadly I lack the means to take any decent photographs, but I enjoy seeing the work of others. Some people here can really make a figure, even one I may not necessarily like, look good.

My application has been sent! This sounds like fun!

It's the opposite for me. I have very nice cameras, but few figures. :(

If you guys need a cheap/free and easy to use editing software, then I highly recommend GIMP. It's what I use for all my shots. And although I'm not expert like most of these guys, it's gets me pretty good results.

Well, I do want to become a photographer in the future, so why not? I dont have a dslr camera though, but, Ill try it anyways!

I have an acceptable camera and practically no figures. :cry The rarest thing I have is the Souchaku Henshin Den-O five armour set. :/

I just use Preview (since it came with my Macbook). But thanks to some tips from Conundrum, I also use Photoshop Express on my iPhone (since that's what I take my pictures with.)

Don't you have the SIC Double?
We sure could use a gallery for that.

Oh snap! my profile says I'm staff now. Sweet!
Now I'll be popular, for sure!
