Juried Exhibitions

Arpad Petrass Visceral Photography

Photography is my passion. Whenever I can share beauty in the world through my photography I know it will be a good day. If the community responds by likening my vision, my heart fills with pride, gratitude and humility. I know that I have done something right to make our planet a better place.

I see Juried Exhibitions as a way to share my best work with all of you. I hope that you like what you see. Each one of these pieces are also available for sale if you are moved by them. Should you be interested in purchasing anything drop me a line and I would be happy to let you know if it is still on the market or which limited additions are left.

In addition, people have depended on them for all manner of uses, from heating dwellings and cooking food to providing everything from canoes to cashews. Little wonder, then, that trees were worshiped as gods in some ancient societies
