About Us
FotoVisura.com is an international self publishing community & resource center for art & documentary photography. The project is also a library and search engine for editors, curators, collectors and lovers of art and photography.
This platform consists of an annual membership that offers: 1) an online tool box that photographers can use to self publish, share and promote their work through images, video, audio and text; 2) an online Public Archive & Search Index, where work can rise to public attention; 3) a photography grant open to members that exposes work to a board of leading editors; 4) educational initiatives to connect photographers with leading editors on an individual basis, e.g. photo-editing workshops, seminars and an art residency for students, alumni and emerging photojournalists at the Visura Lodge in Stowe, Vemont; and 5) curated online and physical exhibitions; 6) Local Motion, an outlet that is free of cost for photography institutions and annual FV-members to promote news about exhibitions, events, competitions, grants, publications, artist talks, that streams to our home page, public archive, and newsletter.
FotoVisura facilitates self publishing by broadcasting each user's work to his or her network of contacts, as well as displaying it in the public archive; members can also submit their work to online curated galleries such as Visura Magazine's Your View and Visura Spotlight; as well as The FotoVisura Grant.
