Hi there I hope this is the correct area for my question. If not sorry admin :). I am a amature using a sony nex 5 and i shoot diffrent styles from landscape and macro to motorsport photography. I was just wandering i have a couple images on my hard drive which i would not mind trying to get in to magazines. But I am not sure how to go about it. Do i email the magazines them self or is there a website where i upload my images and the magazines pick them? Many thanks ross :)
 
It varies. Try the individual magazines websites, or look in the print version for submission details.

It's a while since I had anything published but the copy of black and white photography magazine I'm looking at at the moment states no online submissions, CD or memory stick only (presumably to stop people carpet bombing their servers with spurious submissions).

Other magazines criteria will probably differ.
 
I took the BFP course in Freelance Photography many years ago. Tought me a lot and I was under the wing of John Wade who was brilliant. Now, it's a book with lessons Etc and at £27 got to be well worth it.
See: http://www.thebfp.com/course/
 
I joined the BFP some years ago when I wanted to sell photos. I would definitly give it a go if you are new. They used to provide an inch thick book that had the magazine contact details in and what they paid, telephone numbers of picture desk editors and lots more useful info.

All you need. Got contacts for every creative with the power to help you. Not cheap... but anyone serious really could do with this service. If you don't spam people... use social networking well, and discreetly make your presence felt then having this information is priceless.

If you just mean getting something in a magazine as a reader's image in a photography magazine, then there will be information about where to send submissions in the magazine itself I would imagine.
 
It is very possible.... I paid for my BFP course in 3 month's & as far as I remember it was a couple of hundred quid then. It becomes a BUZZ
Just dedicate youself to learning what is in the book (I'm thinking of ordering the latest book myself, just for a refresher) It is totally a 'different' style of photography... more journalistic, add some words (an essay) give it a story and the mags will buy. Learn to write 500 words (at least) But I guess the book you ordered will tell ya all about that. You become a reporter LOL
