As an amateur photographer, I would get a real buzz when my pictures were published, either in print or digitally. I know many amateur models feel the same way because it gives recognition of your artistic abilities and lets people see how working with other artists can modify how you shoot and pose. However, when I first looked into developing a magazine, I realized how much profit other people were making from my efforts
We want models and photographers to be able to see the results of their hard work, in print or online, without spending a small fortune. If we can produce a product at a reasonable price, then there is a greater opportunity for artists to showcase their works, and share them with family and friends, or order a copy for Great Aunt Doris.

We are happy to accept submissions of images from models and photographers for consideration for publication in future issues. However, there are a few rules.
Ownership.
Photographers - if you released the shutter, you own the copyright of the image.
Models - you must only submit images that you have been granted permission to submit, by the photographer who takes the image.
Permissions.
By submitting images to our magazine, you are granting us a "one-off" permission to use them in our magazine, and in so doing confirm ownership of the images, and the consent of all parties involved for their publication. Using images for which you do not have copyright will make you liable to prosecution.
The Images
We need images that are as large as possible, with minimal post production or editing, as they will be printed at 300dpi.
Portrait orientation is preferred.
We are happy to accept pictures with a small watermark (as it helps to prove your ownership) but please not so large that it detracts from the image.
Levels
This magazine focuses on artistic merit, so although some topless or nude images may be published, we will not accept images that have close-ups of the genitals, simulated sexual activity including masturbation or insertion, or sexual arousal.
How to Submit
Please email a selection of up to 6 images from a shoot (i.e. in the same outfit) and include the name and Instagram tag of the model and photographer. This can be their 'stage name' if they prefer this to using their actual details. The easiest way to send large files is to email a Dropbox link. We will contact you when the submission has been received.
