Banista

Bali, 2023. Banista is Raex Murillo's study of the muse at the edge of the pool, skin caught in the slow ripple of light. Contemporary black and white photography in soft tonal greys. Sensual, suspended, still.

Raex Murillo is an Australian fine art photographer, based in Dubai. He works in digital photography, with natural light, cinematic framing, and subtle direction. The moments he keeps feel unscripted, but they are always intentional.

His subjects are intimacy, imperfection, memory, and the female form. He moves between documentary realism and fashion-coded imagery, drawn to the tension between strength and vulnerability, control and spontaneity, the surface of an image and what runs beneath it.

Sixteen years across campaign, resort, and editorial work, with clients including luxury brands, hotels, and independent designers in Europe, Australia, and the Middle East.

High Society Gallery presents Raex Murillo's photography on archival grade paper, framed by hand in black, white, or oak.

Every artist we publish is a partner.

High Society Gallery works directly with the artists behind the work. We publish each edition with them, and when a piece sells, the artist who made it earns from the sale, directly.

That is not how most art prints reach a wall. Stock libraries and open print runs keep the artist anonymous and far from the sale. We built High Society Gallery the other way around.

When you collect a piece here, you are collecting work the artist stands behind. Their signature printed on the piece, and your purchase supports the person who made it. Real art, by real artists, supported the most direct way there is.

Fine art photography should be protected and displayed which is why we offer complimentary custom framing on all of our pieces for customers.

Our premium hardwood frames are available in black, white and a beautiful natural wood. Each frame is hand-crafted with a sheet of artist-grade, UV-protected, shatterproof acrylic and comes with easy hanging hardware so your artwork is ready to hang as soon as it arrives.

All of our frames are shadow box frames. We believe this is the premium framing style. Shadow boxes make a photograph more definitive by adding extra depth between the artwork and the acrylic. It is an absolutely stunning method of framing and the preferred choice of most photographers, galleries and designers.

Every print bears the artist's printed signature, included as a mark of authenticity on every piece we publish.

Due to extremely high demand each piece can take between 2 to 3 weeks to print, mount, frame and ship. You'll receive a tracking number from us as soon as it's in the mail so you can keep an eye on things.

Each photograph is printed and framed just for you in the size and frame of your choice. That means we are unable to accept returns or exchanges. We are also unable to make any changes or cancellations to orders after 24 hours.

If for any reason your new artwork arrives in anything other than perfect condition please let us know and we will repair or replace the piece!
