Hey photographers, if we like your photography projects, portfolio, etc., we’ll feature it!
Amidst everything happening with COVID-19, we know photographers are shifting to find ways to get more eyes on their work. As a service to our readers, we’re looking to help. For years, we’ve featured and profiled up and coming photographers. We’re also glad to say we’ve discovered many before they were cool. Photographers have gotten work from our features, and we’re happy to help the photo community. So, if you’d like to get featured, we’ve got all the details on how to submit your work below.
Creating the Photograph: For Strobist Photographers

- A gear list
- The concept of the photo
- Post-production: walk us through this and share screenshots please
- A lighting diagram
- BTS images or other images from the shoot
- Before and after editing images
- All images at 3000 pixels on the long side
Here’s the series. Email us with the subject line: Creating the Photograph: (Your name here)
