Guidelines for submissions

Images

Make sure you own the copyright of the images you send us! Watermark the images if you wish but subtly is always desired. re-size images to a max width of 570 pixels to fit nicely into the posts.

Content

We are looking for your original content so no plagiarism please! If you want to use videos then please send us a YouTube link. Audio files are also welcome and will be added to our PhotoCreative Podcast feed on iTunes.

There’s no minimum or maximum word count but if the posts are too long I must suggest cutting them up a little bit.

Promote yourself

We’re keen to promote all of your guest bloggers so not only will we list your posts in our Guest Bloggers section but we’ll also include full links to your websites and social media profiles (if you want).

Why not include a picture of yourself or company logo too!

The Sunday Showcase

Not a writer?

Well we are photographers after all and sharing images is what we do!

Example showcase

Corporate Portraits – Grantly Lynch

This Sunday Showcase comes from Corporate Portrait photographer Grantly Lynch. If you’d like to connect with him on Twitter you’ll find Grantly at twitter.com/GrantlyLynch


Why submit to the Sunday Showcase?

To share what is really happening out there. We don’t want perfect portfolios just interesting approaches to your chosen subject.

When we share we learn, and that’s what this website is all about.

The plan is to do a feature every Sunday but that may be increased at some point. The success depends purely on YOU otherwise I’m just going to show my stuff off every week and that might get a little boring for you!

What we’re after…

  • A set of 4-22 images from a single shoot
  • Any style or genre of photography
  • Creatively, originally, boldness, silliness, fun and passion for the medium.
  • YOUR style…. not shots from a workshop! (zzzzzzzzzzz)
  • A few lines about the shoot…. these don’t have to be commissioned shoots but we’d love to hear why and how you created the images.
  • Something about you…. we’re not going to pay you dude so milk the chance at self promotion!
  • Where we can find you….. Website, Blog, Twitter feed and Facebook page.

Requirements (serious bit)

  • The maximum size for image is 1200 pixels on the longest side
  • Send us a couple of low res shots using the contact form below before you send us hundreds of shots!
  • Feel free to watermark the images but don’t splash a massive COPYRIGHT around the middle of the shot…. it doesn’t look nice and the title of this section is ‘Showcase’ after all.
  • You’ll gonna want have some sense of self promotion other than just having a ClickPic website.
