Article Submissions:
U&I Magazine encourages photographers to write about their photos. Even if it is a short blurb on what the photo was about, we want you to write it out. Your written work will be published alongside your photograph.
Stuck on what to write? Here are some tips:
- Give us a background of yourself
- What or who is your inspiration when it comes to photography?
- Give us a background of what the photo is all about
- Tell us why you took the photo, how you took the photo, and anything interesting that happened while you were taking the photo
- What about Flickr do you like, dislike, or want to change?
OR
- Write to us about particular techniques, tricks, and other interesting things you do with respect to photography
- Want to show off a series of your photos? Give us a background of your photo essay and show us what you've got!
- Do you just have that urge to write something? Let us know what you want to write about and we just may accept your submission!
Article suggestions are always welcome so if you think you have a great idea, then let us know! You'll have a good chance of getting your own idea published!
