AO is The Aesthetic of the Ordinary - the celebration of the extraordinary ordinary in photography.
ao stands for the aesthetic of the ordinary. It is a new not-for-profit initiative conceived by photographers Richard Mortimer @richardmortimer.bsky.social, Bob Hitchcock @tamarphotography.bsky.social and Colin Farmery @cocofoto.bsky.social who have been brought together on the BlueSky social media platform through their shared appreciation of the often under-appreciated beauty of the everyday environment.
The aim of ao will be to showcase the work of photographers in this space by means of a free digital magazine, published three times a year. All photographs will remain the intellectual property of the photographers who created them. Through ao we hope to grow audience awareness and appreciation of the ordinary world around us.
