Here’s your chance to show other photographers how incredible and special your work is. We recently made the decision to lean harder into our tech background as a photography website. And with that said, we’re curious to know how photographers are using their cameras and their gear to make work that’s unique and intriguing instead of predictable and contemporary. The site has always considered this to be a way to give back to the photo community even more than we already do. And we’re inviting you to help us inspire others and hopefully do something for you too. Here’s how you can get your work featured on Phoblographer.
The In-Camera Series
You can take a look at all the posts we’ve done with the in-camera series. You folks love it!
- The subject line of your email should be: In-Camera: (Your name here)
- Shoot an email to arts[at]thephoblographer[dot]com.
- Describe yourself as a photographer. Think about the who, what, when, where, how, and why. Tell us about who you are as a photographer, list what cameras, lenses, lights, films (or plates, or papers), and other gear you use. Tell us about your creative vision when you create and take photos.
Then, answer these questions:
- Why did you get into photography?
- Tell us about your photographic identity. You as a person have an identity that fundamentally makes you who you are. Tell us about that person as a photographer.
- What are your thoughts about all the AI projects out there these days and “AI images” as they’re called? How much post-production do you typically do? And how do you feel that it’s affecting the whole misunderstanding of art vs content in photography?
- How is your work so different from others out there? For example, if you’re shooting a landscape, what are you doing that makes your images not so predictable vs everything else out there?
- What’s typically going through your mind when you create images? Tell us about your processes both mentally and mechanically? PLEASE BE DESCRIPTIVE
- Tell us about the project or portfolio you’re pitching to us. Be descriptive with the who, what, when, where, how, and why.
- Show us up to 10 photos (at 2560 pixels on the long side) that demonstrate some of your best work. Send these as direct attachments or in a WeTransfer link. Please include captions in your images.
- List websites and social media pages where folks should follow you.
Creating the Photograph
For our Creating the Photograph series we need:
- A before editing and after editing image at 3000 pixels on the long side.
- The final photo at 2560 pixels on the long side.
- Talk to us about the concept
- Give us a gear list
- Talk to us about what happened during the shoot. BTS images help here or other images from the shoot. Tell us the who, what, when, where, how and why. Also please give us a lighting diagram.
- Walk us through the post-production, please give us a screenshot
A bio about you and websites that you’d like us to promote. Also, a name for your image in the same way that Picasso named his paintings.
