Lenswork Logo

Just a reminder of the ongoing opportunities offered by Lenswork, one of our favorite resources for publishing, fine art editions, podcasts, education, RSS Feeds, and news services; all in the spirit of furthering the best of contemporary photography.

Submitting Portfolios to Lenswork

We always enjoy the opportunity to look at new work. In fact, about half of what we’ve published in LensWork and LensWork Extended comes from submissions that were originally unsolicited, that is to say, from readers and subscribers like you. We love giving exposure to photographers who are doing good work but are not plugged-in to the publicity machines that galleries and traditional publishers provide!

Please review our Submission Guidelines and feel free to send in your work for consideration.

Obviously, we can’t publish everything that is submitted, but we also can’t publish work that isn’t ever submitted! The best way to start is to send in the work and let us take a look. Thanks!

Please note that we do not review websites nor do we accept submissions via e-mail.
