Is there a place to submit new lighting ideas or discuss them?

Sorry if this sounds weird but I'll phrase it the best I can.
As an artist, I'm obsessed with wanting to create art that is photorealistic. By photorealistic, I mean every pixel actually looks like it came from a photograph of the same source instead of it being "fake photorealistic".
I hoard references I can find that can help achieve that, in addition to following all the latest news in CG breakthrough.
That said, is there a place or community out there that has the same interest? I know there are universities but that's too technical for me (though it would be a nice life goal to publish a whitepaper on photorealism one day).
