interviews

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!


joining and submitting
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.

No Beckers or Salgado in inspiration? Or even Arbus? Holy crap, I dont know about this club anymore.

Personally, I'm a bit tired of the irresponsibility of some of the photographer's submissions.
When a photo that I link to you doesnt fit your gallery, please response anyway. An answer that explains what is wrong on the photo since it cant be submitted would help very much.

Thanks.

patience is the keyword to everything.
nothing to do but believe.

I'm agree with you.

and to get some feedback if they can or only a short answer that the work doesn't fit in the 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."

3-5 pictures a day? The last posted submission is one week ago...so where is the activity of this club?

I also think that you should renew the rules of submitting, maybe a poll would be good.

It's been good to see some newer types of work picked because of more selectors on staff. I hope the range of what gets selected keeps expanding though.

--

More items per week would be acceptable, though the three per day max is a good rule. More work per would help expand the range, just so long as second-rate stuff was not picked in an effort to meet a quota.

--

The definition could use some work imho. :unimpressed:

--

And while it's a minor issue, a new group avatar would be nice because this one is uglying up my journal :o I could help if you like

Also, having a mechanism to let members suggest work from other members for selection may be helpful.
