Wanna write for us?

pencils.jpgIf you’ve been following Photocritic for a while, you can’t have missed the fact that we’ve had some world-class Guest writers involved recently. RJ Davis’ article on paper negatives was very well read indeed, Anna’s introduction to portraiture went down a storm, and Alecu’s rally racing photography article was rather well received, too.

Would you be interested in writing something?

Do you love photography? Would you like to have a go at writing for an extremely popular photography blog? Check out this post, and read a couple of our earlier contributed guest articles to see what I’m looking for.

Also, don’t worry if you feel your writing isn’t good enough. It’s the factual content, and the opinions that matter. I’ve worked as an editor for a long time, and I’ll work with you to turn your writing into a sharply written, publishable piece. Unlike all the drivel I normally post in my Photocritic blog, then :-)

I will (for the third time now, I think) once again attempt to make good on my promise to have a guestblog entry ready for you.

The one time I came close with a piece on renting equipment, you scooped me! I cried mightily.

I will try once again!

I feel like a bit too much of an amateur to be able to write anything hugely authoritative.

If you want to syndicate any of my existing material from my site, such as my recent light tent series, feel free… or I could condense the 3 posts into an article for this site?

I’d like to contribute in the future - but I don’t have any articles in my head just at the minute.

Hey - just linked to this site through google reader - weird how these things work. Let me know if you want a few articles on stitching or rules of thirds overviews. I also enjoy Macro photography and have started to use some custom software like processing.org

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
