Throw away the Inspiration Guides - get on http://pinterest.com

Like many newbie photographers I've bought and lusted after many inspiration guides - usually from Design Aglow! They're gorgeous but so expensive - so instead I trawl the internet for inspiration and then "cheekily" save the ones I like - I try not to reproduce them but use them as a guide.

Now as you can imagine my harddrive is groaning under the pressure and I then have to remember them when I'm on a shoot!

In steps http://pinterest.com/



I simply "pin" the photos I like and save them to a board!  I can access it via my iphone when I'm out and about. 

All you do is save a special link they give you to your favourites bar at the top of your screen, then when you see a photo you like (from anywhere on the net) you drag and drop the link onto the picture...its really that simple.

You can follow other peoples boards too, start boards for inspiration for decorating, cooking, clothes - absolutely anything. It connects to Facebook & Twitter too!
