About Hades Underworld

Welcome to Hades Underworld!

This is your chance to get recognized, and raise money for charity. 250 of the best photographers will be asked to submit their work for inclusion in the publication 'Hades Underworld'

Pictures of cute animals, beautiful flowers and jolly days of summer are not wanted here! This group is a visual trip into the dark, surreal world of the human psyche.

What disturbs you?
What scares you?
What do you fear and try to avoid?
Perhaps you have seen the mundane in an unusual light?

Do you have an interest in the gothic or strange, or maybe you have a knack for spotting the creatures that lie un-noticed in the corners. Perhaps you want to raise a subject that we do our best to avoid?

Can you translate your psychological demons on to film. Whatever the result, post your photo with a brief description (Max 150 words) about what the image means to you, and why the subject disturbs and/ or fascinates you psychologically.

Each photo must trigger an emotional response! It can be serious and morbid or humorous and witty. Can you rise to the challenge?

Photoshop montages are welcome as long as the source imagery is original photographs.

These photos will cause exciting and stimulating forum conversation, and should be quite fun! So if you're interested, I, Hades, your group administrator would love to hear from you!

I am looking to put together a publication about photography from the darker side. When the pool is large enough and of fantastic quality, Photographers will be nominated and asked if they are willing to submit their photo for inclusion in the book. The best photo will be used on the front cover of the book, and as reward, the photographer will receive a free copy of the hard cover book.

(Photographs will not be published without the photographers permission. A photographer may submit multiple photos to the pool.)

Each photographer will have their own name and submitted text displayed on their double page spread. All profits made from the book will be donated to the Rwanda Project - visit www.rwandaproject.org for more info.

Good luck!
