Sub Etiquette

1. Please follow all global Reddit rules.

2. Links with contemporary photography news, exhibitions, analysis, artist interviews, and criticisms are encouraged. This is strictly a photography-only subreddit. No AI art, if it was not made with a camera, it does not belong here.

3. You may also post your own serial work for critique. Series must include a minimum of three images. When submitting original work, please add an artist statement in the comments or body of your post.

4. Criticism should always be constructive. Critiquing should include what is successful about the work and how the artist may push the concept further in addition to anything that is not successful.

5. Mods reserve the right to remove any links that are believed to be inappropriate. If your post is removed and you disagree, please contact one of the mods.

6. Blatant self-promotion is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to: links to social media accounts, sharing photos via instagram link, and personal websites (with the exception of larger bodies of work). If a commenter asks for your socials, you may share it then.

7. No flooding or excessive posting. Limit posts to up to 2 per week per user. If you have a lot of photographs to show, make an album!
