Chrissie has completed a couple of general photography courses and now learns mainly by experimentation - currently by combining photography and digital art to learn new mixed media techniques, which allows her to get creative and break the rules. She has made many friends on this site and really enjoys the social interaction with fellow photographers and artists. She lives in Staffordshire, England with her husband, two dogs and two cats. She has a passion for photographing animals and nature and loves abstract art.

Unfortunately family and work commitments are going to be keeping me less active on the site for a while. I just wanted to say to anyone whose posts I usually review on a regular basis that I'll keep up as much as time allows!

BrooklynMyra : Now you know why I am a fan of yours!
March 17 at 11:07AM
BrooklynMyra : What is the purpose of posting photos every day? After two reviews, off they go. Do you use extra points to keep them on?
April 22 at 10:59AM
chrissie. : Do you know, I've only just noticed this message Myra. Nearly 2 months later. I should pay more attention to my profile page! I use posints that I've earned from reviewing to promote my work. I never just buy any (can't afford it lol) But I do an awful lot of reviewing to get the points! It's just something that I really enjoy.

Can anyone explain to me what a banner advertisement is or does? I've been 'rewarded' them from time to time for reviewing and added them to a pic. Then a few minutes later it'll say 'shown 600 of 600 times'. No idea what it's about. Can anyone enlighten me?! Thanks. Chrissie.

Badger : http://www.fanartreview.com/mycertificates.jsp should answer this question for you.
February 23 at 12:19PM
Echo7 : lol...it basically flashed your photo-thumbnail 500 times in the forum & such areas. Not sure how effective they are.
Hey badger =D...welcome back bud
February 23 at 1:25PM
chrissie. : Thanks for the info guys.
Does anyone know whether any sales of photographs or art are actually made directly from the site? I thought maybe it's more just for reviews than actual sales. Just wondering. Chrissie.
February 24 at 8:16AM
NinaDd : Most mambers say they have NEVER sold a picture here.
February 24 at 9:22AM
Badger : I'm fairly well convinced that stuff fails to sell here chiefly because members rate their work too highly, take a look at other sites selling their members work and see what they charge. Most buyers don't want to put your picture on a wall, they are most often used for the interweb or hard copy magasene s
February 24 at 12:30PM
Badger : SAUSAGE FINGERS!!! or even magazines. Why pay what members ask when they can go to sites like shutterstock and get them for a few quid.
February 24 at 12:32PM
Echo7 : Ive been approached here 3 times by members asking about buying. But i directed them to my personal website & other sharing website...which is set up for selling. I will not burst my bubble & tell you the site. But if you want to know where i sell just send me a red private message =D

Sinbackkk : EXCUSE ME!!! Don't you mean "My" work...

chrissie. : Thanks so much for the info. The clues are there Echo lol - thanks again! Chrissie.

icnpictures : I do not think the banner advertisements are very helpful- you may get 1 or 2 reviews from one of them IF you are lucky and as for selling work I think it is hard to sell work where it is marketed mostly to other artists who can do the same things you/ I can. Just my thoughts :) Cindy B
February 27 at 8:55AM
the rhatzz : Ive reviewed a few works with this advertising so they work at least a little

Well having just completed my first couple of weeks on FAR, I just wanted to thank everyone who has been so welcoming and has kindly taken the time to review my work.
The response has been far more than I could have hoped for and has been a real confidence boost. Thank you again to everyone who awarded those stars! There's some tremendous talent on this site and I hope that I can continue to learn and grow as an artist.
I have promoted my work solely through reviewing - which does take time but is so enjoyable and another great way of learning. Chrissie.
