What weâre about
A COMMUNITY FOR ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY.
Welcome to The Art of Photography International! Our purpose is to spark creativity, open new doors, incite discussion and learn from each other in a positive and sharing environment. The program is designed to facilitate the merging of the principles of art and graphic design with excellent camera craft. To take each one of us no matter what level of experience to places, levels and worlds that are out of our comfort zone. Our critique programs, our photo shoots and our educational sessions are free. Your submissions for discussion are for you to choose without regard to theme or genre. However, because we are a public group, we ask that you refrain from submitting photos of nudes or with sexual content. We recommend uploading photos at 72 dpi, with the longer side 2048 pixels.
To cultivate artistic discernment and good sportsmanship and encourage focused creativity, we hold a monthly themed, contest judged by founder Jack Wild. He selects one winner and several honorable mentions. Every event photo shoot has a challenge with one winner.
The Art Of Photography began as a Museum Art School program in 2002 and has expanded to over 16,000 members worldwide, so many of whom have grown into exceptional photographers that are hugely represented in international award shows. We are truly excited for your participation and look forward to your development as creative and artistic photographers.
