Would you like to be interviewed by the staff at fineart-photography? Please send us a note with the title 'Interview' and tell us what makes you special and different. If you could include some THUMBS from your gallery too, that would be great! Thank you!

The goal of this community is to bring together the fine-art-photographers of Deviant Art. There are loads around and we'd like to build a gallery of their best work.

To join this community, simply add us to your watch-list and we will watch you back. We ask you to place a link from your journal to this community in return.

IMPORTANT: We want EVERYONE to join who's interested in fine art photography! It's what our new community needs most: members and watchrs! Being a member doesn't automatically mean you have to submit pictures, if you feel your art isn't good enough yet. You'll definitely learn from the experienced members. A good audience is important!

To submit your piece of art send us a note with the THUMB of your art and keywords (not necessary). We're not accepting links anymore, as we get too many notes and don't have the time to full view work without previews. Notes without thumbs will from now on be ignored because of lack of time. Despite some rumours you do not have to be subscribed to send thumbs in notes!

We ask you to only send in high-quality pictures as the staff will be selective; please don't be mad at us if we decide not to submit one of your pictures to our gallery.

You can submit 3 pictures a week - but we will only upload a maximum of 3-5 pictures a day, not to flood your inboxes.

We'll also have a regular look at member's galleries to search for good pieces for our gallery. We will not submit any pieces without the artist's permission, of course!

What to expect.

Along with loads of pictures by our members you'll also find interviews, book recs and contests. We will suggest the best submitted pieces as DDs on a regular basis.
