TO BE FEATURED, complete a little more for us for consideration. Note that we rarely choose photographers for double spreads who have not submitted enough images and content for us to publish.
1-2 Head shots (please label the file name(s) with your name. We are more likely to feature you if your head shot is showing your face and not hidden behind a camera!)
Paragraph bio (this is optional but encouraged.) We may not include it. We also love to see short excerpts and/or stories about the session, articles from photographers with their shared knowledge relevant to the pictures they have shared etc.
BONUS: Share a first day of school memory as a child, or something you learned as an important lesson in your school years, whether in class or on the playground etc. OR ask your client what they like most about school.
For models, either include their name OR IG handle as there may not be room for both.
For styled sessions, please also include the NAMES ONLY of the creative team (note that only the photographer will be credited on the cover if chosen for as our cover artist)
