Creative Photographers: We Want to Feature Your Work

Last Updated on 06/01/2016 by Chris Gampat

Continuing with the Phoblographer’s aim to share the psychology behind why we create, we’re specifically calling on those that do Creative Photography. What does that mean? Consider the idea behind Creating vs Capturing. When you capture a scene, you generally don’t have direct involvement in how it looks, to someone. But if you’re actively working to mess around and change the scene to suit a specific creative vision that you have, then you’re creative.

PS: This doesn’t mean that you need to Photoshop!

Examples of Creative Photography include:

• Portraits
• food
• strobist work
• surreal work
• light painting
• fashion
• editorial
• lifestyle
• abstract
• real estate
• fine art
• glamour
• high speed
• macro (with controlled lighting)
• alternative process work
• pinhole

If you’re really confused, then check this out. We’re open to other types of work, but this is just what we want to feature right now. So to do that, check out how to apply below.

PLEASE CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS. SUBMISSIONS MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED OTHERWISE AND MAY HEAD STRAIGHT TO THE SPAM FOLDER.

– Subject line of your email should be: Photography Submission: (Your name here)

– Shoot an email at editors[at]thephoblographer[dot]com. You’ll also probably notice the little call to feature you on the sidebar.

– Describe yourself as a photographer. Think about the who, what, when, where, how and why.

– List a number of your websites

– Explain why the readers want to see your work., or why your project is really cool.

– Show 10 photos at 1000 pixels on the long side that demonstrate some of your best work.

I will review all of your submissions and get back to you based on the volume of emails. Don’t let this discourage you, it’s just the introductory pitch. And if you have a photo that makes great use of lighting, submit it for our Creating the Photograph series.

Thanks folks!
