All style and type of photography are welcome to participate. Artists using mixed media are also encouraged to submit, as long as photography is being part of the process. All artists, regardless of age (must be at least 18+), nationality, and level of experience can send their projects. It is also open to worldwide submissions.
We publish what we call ‘Slow Photography’, which refers to a more mindful way of creation : we give the same importance to the story and meaning than to the aesthetic itself. Both analog and digital work are accepted.
The magazine will be about 350 pages and 17x24cm : half of it being curated by our team, and the other half dedicated to the open call.
Each artist (or team, working on the same project) can submit up to 15 images, either as one large serie, smaller series or individual pictures. The pictures must not have been printed before in a magazine, but self-published work or book printed by a publisher remains elligible to participate.
