Attention photographers! We are planning a special print issue celebrating the diverse and wonderful field of music photography – both live music photography and studio work. Black and white, color, whatever!
If you are a photographer, we want to hear from you, and potentially feature your work and/or thoughts on music photography.
ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY NOVEMBER 1, 2013. PLEASE READ ALL THE INFO BELOW FOR SUBMISSION DETAILS.
There are 3 types of pieces we’d like to consider you for, so please submit for any or all. Read the quick blurbs below, then head to the submission info at the bottom for instructions on sending us your stuff for consideration.
1. Photos for “gallery” consideration. Part of the issue will consist of the coolest music photography we can get our hands on. Submit interesting studio shots of bands you’ve done promo sessions for, killer live shots from festivals, club gigs or other concerts, or anything else music-related (a still-life featuring instruments, etc).
Try to limit it to only ONE image for the photo gallery submission, please; make sure it’s the best representation of your work.
2. “My Favorite Gear” – This one’s easy! We want to show off the gear you use. Cameras, lighting equipment, lenses, your favorite flash – whatever! Send us a hi-res photo and answer the questions below…
3. “Photographer Snapshot” – this will be a quick q&a that you’ll email back to us about your craft, along with a headshot of you. Basically a spotlight bio/artistic rundown of your work and philosophy about your art. We want our readers to quickly get a sense of who you are and what you’re about.
