About

Artists United

A collection of photographers like the world has never seen.

A group based on diversity – language, race, age, ability/disability, years in the field, life experiences, and area of specialty.

26 photographers. 12 countries.

Speaking different languages - in both words and images. Landscape, travel, portrait, drone, adventure, fine art, wildlife, and even astrophotography. The intention was to assemble a diverse group – as diverse as possible. Pulling from every corner of the world.

Along the way, something happened. Something that could only happen in 2022 with the benefits of Discord, Zoom, Web3, Google Translate, NFTs, and modern-day enabling technologies. Working together around the world is now just like best friends meeting at the local coffee shop. Despite our differences, we’ve united. Our collective has become a fun and familiar place to relax. Day by day we’ve built greater friendships, made of sharing jokes, photography tips, favorite recipes, and lots of laughter. Many days the only thing we are serious about is our work.

We’ve combined our collective strengths. With a common bond of photography, we have helped each other learn and grow. Like a close family we have faced sickness and health, marriage and new life, loss and death, joys and sorrows, computer crashes and file sizing issues, dealings with young children and aging parents. Late nights, long days, crazy deadlines, and dealing with at least a dozen different time zones. When asked what makes us unique, the best answer is a miraculous, “we all get along?”

Even though many of us have not yet met face-to-face, and maybe never will, we have indeed become family.

So, in one way, we have failed miserably. We intended to be diverse. Different in every way. Instead, we win. Turns out we are much more alike than different. All navigating this crazy thing called life.

Working as artists to tell our stories through photography.

With a single, united passion.
