Yes, we have membership applications open. Abide by the above mentioned rules and you are eligible for membership. You just need to click on the "Join Our Group" button (front page left). All members are subject to review pending membership approval

My image suggestion/submission was denied. Why?

Any of the following reasons:
1.) The image you suggested (for submission or favorite) is not under the incorrect category
2.) Your suggestion (for submission or favorite) doesn't properly credit stockers or is violating some dA policy.
3.) Your suggestion (for submission or favorite) considered art at all, even for a beginner / poor execution and lack of quality
4.) the image you suggested (for submission or favorite) is offensive.
Is there some limit of images I can contribute/suggest?
We limit the submissions to 4 a week for submissions and 4 for :+fav:’s.

I'm waiting for days for my work to be approved or denied. What's happening?

The staff here at EBONY PHOTOGRAPHY operate at a high level in their work which means we are busy people within our personal and professional lives. Do allow for atleast 72hours for your submissions to be approved/declined, as there are many things we are also busy with.

You are not an ebony model or photographer and you do not take images of ebony subjects, you have 2 images of a white female in your gallery and we only feature quality renowned photographic pieces of EBONY SUBJECTS in our gallery.

Read the rules before requesting membership.

Unfortunately that is not good enough we have strict rules of what is allowed and what is not allowed rules are made and implemented for a reason and as it stands you do not suit our criteria at all.

Ebony Photography is here to showcase EBONY models/photographers and digital artists or artists who depict EBONY subjects and further more these art pieces need to fit into our high standards before being considered for being showcased in our group.

Having said that once again you do not suit the criteria.
You would have known that had you taken the time to read the rules before requesting membership.

You are welcome to watch :+devwatch: the group as is everybody on Deviant Art however this does not mean you will automatically receive membership.
Rules are made for a reason, to control and maintain the standards for what this group believes in.

There are plenty of other groups on Deviant for u to seek membership in.

You need to go to the featured folder of the gallery and click on the top right hand corner where it says contribute to this folder. The founders will place it in the right folder once it has been accepted

I would love to but I'm not sure if you understand that the group's page layout looks different to the founders and co-founders...you should try looking from a members p.o.v. because that option is not there at all....and I dont skim..trust me I looked the only thing in the right-hand corner is the option for the sitback slideshow.....respectfully

Guys what happened to the option of voting for the photos we want to be seen in this group? I don't see that feature anymore..

That is there, only the Founder and I are able to vote for Fav's because people tend to abuse that folder with too much of their own work.

You are still able to vote for group submissions
