about the austin art photography group
Austin Art Photography was founded by Ricardo Acevedo of R/aWorks Creative in February of 2012 with the intent of creating a collective of a vast range of fellow creatives in the photographic field. Formed earlier this year it is still in fledgling form but is rapidly expanding it’s wings. Serving as an arena for peers to bounce ideas, questions and new work off of each other they gather motivation, insight and knowledge of an evolving medium in which each is passionate about. There are many lenses through which life can be viewed and each individual brings their perspective in the raw, gritty, somber, vibrant, soothing, shocking and clear voice of their own.

Diversity of technique, style and vision is quickly evident within the group. We encompass everyone from highly skilled professionals with many years of experience to those just starting out and those in between. Austin Art Photography is not just a group of photographers who just happen to be exhibiting our work together, we are a group that supports each other in the differences within the art. As Oscar Wilde said, “Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known. ” Our cameras are the common denominator with which we choose to speak, what we each have to say is quite varied though.

Optics is an invitation to foray into the printed form of light and vision as seen by each artist as they have continuously strived for further culmination within their own body of work. What will grab your eye? Will it be the sublime, the surreal, the scenic?

…Stop in to view the kaleidoscopic array offered, a veritable playground for your eyes and mind awaits.
