Want to see your portfolio of images on the pages of Amateur Photographer Magazine? See below how to get involved and get published!
Our 2-page Reader Portfolio segment of the magazine spotlights readers’ excellent images and how they captured them.
Reader Portfolio winners receive a one-year subscription to a Gold Portfolio Series website worth £300. UK domain name included. Kindly provided by Amazing Internet.
How to enter Reader Portfolio
Send 4-6 low resolution images and some text about yourself to ap.ed@kelsey.co.uk – if successful you will be emailed. All photographers can enter – whether you shoot with a digital, smartphone or film camera!
Guidance for your portfolio:
- We recommend sticking to one genre, and not mixing colour and black & white images.
- Consider how you use colour, light and composition within your photographs.
- Portfolios with an interesting story or interlinking theme throughout tend to do well.
