• Read our Q&A page if you have further questions.

1.
Q: Do you accept nude work?
A: We do. We try not to censor what images we can use in the magazine, as that is counterintuitive to the purpose of creativity, and to the purpose of freedom of artistic expressions. That being said, while artfully executed full nudity, open leg shots, & visible genitals are fine, any overly explicit images may have to be considered on a "shot by shot" basis due to publishing restrictions. If you have an image that is questionable, DM us on IG & we'll try to advise you as best as possible.

2.
Q: Do you accept male models?
A: Yes we do, and we would love to see more work that fits the magazine theme.

3.
Q: Does the work have to be previously unshared or unpublished?
A: We are REALLY trying to avoid using work that is already "out there" in other magazines (especially recent ones). We do make consideration for work that has only be shared online. If you have questions, please contact us.

4.
Q: What do you consider as a set of images for submission?
A: A set of images are typically images that are shot all during the same setting, with the same wardrobe & look, featuring the same model/s, & edited in the same style/look/color-scheme. This is not a hard rule, because a set can also be a theme, but coherency is important when presenting art. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

5.
Q: Can I submit photos taken with my phone, or selfies?
A: We avoid standard selfies. We encourage everyone to please use a professional photographer. We ONLY accept images that are 300 DPI/PPI for printing purposes. If experimental types of images are taken with a phone, or other lower resolution device, then they will need to be resized & edited in a professional manner before we will consider the submission.

6.
Q: Do you only feature photography? Will you feature my painting/drawings/sculpture/band/etc?
A: At this time we are a newer publication & testing the waters to see what resonates with our audience. As we progress, we may introduce other artistic forms into the magazine, but for now we are focused on photographic imagery.

7.
Q: My submission was rejected. Why?
A: There are several possibilities. Don't take it personally. It could be that the work doesn't fit the theme of the publication. This is a themed, art-based magazine with a stated focus per issue. Not all pin-up, boudoir,  portrait, glamour, or street shots fit the theme, even if they are beautifully executed. Our IG account regularly shares work we have published, & our mood boards reflect the style/quality of work we are focused on. Please review them. Work may also be rejected based on the basis of quality.

8.
Q: Do I have to get my work in during the open-submission period?
A: Yes. We only publish quarterly (for now). Work that arrives significantly before open submissions is hard to keep track of, & we don't want your set getting lost in the shuffle. Once submissions are closed we begin layout. Work after this period cannot be accepted. as layout decisions & space limitations have already been considered.

9.
Q: How many submissions do you normally get?
A: It varies. We have roughly 6-10 spots for submissions that we can accept per issue to keep the size of the magazine standard & make it affordable. If we recieve enough acceptable submissions during one period, we will split the issue, & run two covers, but never count on that. If you're concerned with securing a spot in the issue, submit early during the open-submission period.

10.
Q: Do I need to fill out a release?
A: Yes. All submissions must have a release signed by the owner of the images (usually the photographer) & returned to us prior publication, or the set will be cut from the magazine.

11.
Q: Do I get paid for submitting?
A: Like most publications, the answer unfortunately is no.

12.
Q: Do we get a discount on the magazine if we are published?
A: See previous answer. Most of the cost of these magazines goes to the publisher. The work that goes into producing them, compared to what is left over after publishing cost, is basically done as a labor of love. There is simply not enough made from producing most magazines to offer payment, free issues, or discounts.

13.
Q: Do you provide tear-sheets?
A: Yes. Tear-sheets are available upon request... usually within a day or two after publication.

14
Q: Does your magazine offer advertising space?
A: Yes! Please contact through email for details.
