My name is Stephanie McDowell. I'm currently on my last year in high school, and looking forward to taking photography courses in college this Fall.

I enjoy portraiture, mainly fashion photography! I like to also do conceptual shots, usually with people, of course. I have fun on Photoshop, I like to make random things often times, or just play around with the tools to create something interesting! I mainly do enhancements on Photoshop for my photos, but sometimes I'll add textures and such.


I am up for doing photo shoots almost any time I'm available! In fact, I'd love to have one right now! Unfortunately I don't have models here near me to just come over and be bored with me. I do a lot of self portraits, which are fun, no doubt. But there's usually nothing else to do!

If you live in central California and like to model, you can come visit me! Hehe. And we'll have a photo shoot! Although I know here on dA I hardly have any friends who live near me. But ya never know. Someone might be passing through the Fresno area.


I've been on deviantART since Feb. 2006 with ~DreamingPhotographer. Recently, in November, I made this account because I wanted to have my name tied to something more like me, something more professional, so I finally decided on sm|photography! I changed the SM and P to lower case finally because I liked the even size, hehe.
I didn't really started this account until I got pictures with my new camera that came Dec. 21st of last year. So this account sorta started this year, and only recently have I been getting many more watchers!
I'm quite thankful for all the support people have given me here on deviantART. All the comments really make me feel confident about myself, and how my photography is.

I still stand amazed at all this feedback I've been getting! I used to wonder how people got over 1,000favs on a photo. And I'm about to get that, granted more people like my current most popular photo!

Sometimes the popular photos are the ones I took just because I wanted new photos, instead of the set up ones. But I think that's interesting! And I do plan on getting better. Also with my photoshop skills! I really want to learn more.

Thanks, dA people! YOU ROCK!


I currently have 14 photos that are faved 100 times or more! It's nice to see my work getting even more attention through each new upload.
And also, one photo that is over 1,000 favs.
