The photos in this group are those of outstanding quality. They are the photos that make photography a true art. They aren't just pretty pictures. There is a thoughtfulness in the style of the photo and an attentiveness to composition, color, light, emotion, message, etc. They are unique. Usually they are particularly evocative and thought-provoking.


Welcome to Arete Photography. I hope to see your work in here soon!


NOTICE: Fashion photography is rarely (but yes, sometimes) accepted into Arete. This is because Arete focuses primarily on fine art photography. The field of fashion photography is extremely marketable, but here we hope to celebrate photos that make us ponder or feel awed. If you feel your fashion photo does this, please submit!
