JPG Magazine submissions

JPG Magazine has been expanding services on the site. It was simply collecting photos for the magazine with the first issues, which have now been assembled into a 390 page book selling for $64.99 - which can be previewed online. Now the site has stories, contacts, and they've enabled people to leave comments on each other's photos.

So I'm looking for registered contacts of course - check my profile and add me as a contact. There is no fee to join JPG Magazine's website and you can get your photos seen by quite a few people. Each month they select three themes for people to vote on photos that will go into the next issue of the magazine. Current themes are Family, Fashion, and Creative License. Since Fashion is a selected theme - I hurried up with a story about the Abandoned In Detroit project and post that... it is collecting votes in The Project category of stories.

Each theme allows one photo to be submitted at a time. So the only way to show those from the project is to submit them in a story as a group. Another strategy is to place photos into other themes on the site with them all linking back to the story.


Please click the photo and vote for it.
This is the key image being used for the Abandoned In Detroit story. If you bring up my profile you'll see the stream of photos I've submitted. There's a wide range of images reflecting my breadth of portfolio content.

Stepping in front of the camera

I've been busier taking event photos than fashion photos it seems. This isn't a problem - I've got to have money for food and bills. Eventually it would be nice to acquire a vehicle again. Then I'd be able to get where I need to so much easier.

The good thing is I'm establishing myself as a paid photographer. I've been asked over and over by new models for TFCD sessions. Sorry - my portfolio is established and unless you sign an agreement with a deposit toward a paid shoot I simply am not interested. There are quite a few models I know and just about any description as well. My connections around the Detroit area run very broad. This is something I've groomed over the past two years. Self promotion is required and investing in what you are up to creating as well.

How to Walk Like A Diva

I was checking over my RSS News feeds today and saw this article on WikiHow. I know I have quite a few models connected for information and thought I would share this article. There's a related article called "How To Walk Like a Catwalk Model".
