SWANKY FASHION/BEAUTY COLLECTIONS ISSUE




****SUBMISSION GUIDELINES PLEASE READ***

Once a submission is accepted by Swanky Magazine, you will receive a link to our release form which will have to be signed by the Photographer. If the release form is not completed before the deadline, we reserve the right to pull that submission from our issue without your consent.

Photo editorial submissions will need to come with a pre-edited and curated selection of imagery. Your editorial must be cohesive, all from the same shoot to tell a story. If you want a wow, feel of your Landscape photo on a double page, make sure your subject is not centered to avoid part of the image being hidden when binding the magazine.

Please submit images with NO LOGOS or WATERMARKS! (Any submissions with Logos or watermarks will be automatically rejected)

Please ensure you also include and title and share all associated credits you would like published in the editorial. We will not be responsible for typos, errors, and missing credits.

All submissions should be between 4-12 images. If your submissions are over 10 images, we won’t publish all images, a maximum of 8 and a minimum of 2 will be chosen, unless it is a cover story or special feature. We use mostly portrait images, the Lesser the landscape the better. Unless it is intended for a double-page spread.

PLEASE NOTE IMAGES CAN & WILL BE CROPPED TO FIT THE MAGAZINE LAYOUT. (However, we strive to maintain the best image possible) We also advise adequate edging in your image to allow for cropping.

Make sure this is your final decision to submit your work to Swanky Magazine. If you want to remove any images after release, there will be a cancellation fee of £80 as we will have to redesign the magazine completely.

The sorts of images we prefer:
* Unusual and creative ideas
* Good editing with professional-looking skin work
* Variety in the posing, angles, and composition
* Professional make-up
* Cover story - Sharp images

Rejection Reasons:
* Noisy images/out-of-focus
* There is little, or no space left for the issue you have submitted to.
* Bad skin editing - waxing face (using automated software)
* Your work is either unsuitable or does not fit with the flow of the issue.
* There is little or no space left for placement.
* The quality of work is not high enough or not to standard.
* Wardrobe is repeated throughout the editorial.
* The submission doesn’t fit the theme for the issue.
* Photos containing nudity will not be considered for Spellbound Fairytales & Fantasy or any of our social media sites.
* Repeated poses & expressions.
* Images containing watermarks.
* You have not supplied enough images to create a story.
