19 Mar 08 - All the ambient photos exhibited here have been exclusively invited to ensure the quality of the group. It will be very subjective based on our own tastes as curators. However, we hope it will come to showcase the very best in Ambient Photography on Flickr. If you believe you have an image that deserves to be exhibited here, then please send either of the Admins a message. Thanks.

About Ambient (Invited Images Only)

Ambient photography can be about abstraction - but without being so abstract it leaves us confused. Ambient photography can be about minimalism - but not so minimal it leaves us cold. Most of all ambient photography is about evoking a mood and atmosphere. It as about creating emotion and feeling. When you look at ambient photography it should carry you away, take you to somewhere warm deep inside yourself. When looking at ambient photography you should be able to sense it as much as see it.

Ambient photography is not instant and superficial. It is something that requires repeated and longer viewing. It asks the viewer to go beyond the instant superficial gratification of subject matter. Every time you look at ambient photography you will see and feel something else. You will get deeper inside it.

Forget realism and documentation. Ambient photography is about art and subjective interpretation.

It's how we see the world without using our eyes.
