Aksgar Magazine – Narrative and Documentary Photography

As I’ve mentioned on episode 57, I’d like to introduce to PhotoNetCast listeners Aksgar Magazine, a narrative and documentary photography magazine.

On episode 57 I’ve mentioned a new project I’m working on – Aksgar Magazine.

As I mentioned on the show, Aksgar is a new venue for the publication of narrative and documentary photography from around the world, in the form of photo essays.

We are interested in publishing works that, besides their documentary value, tell stories beyond the photos and would not, normally, have a place in traditional media.

Besides the publication of essays on aksgar.com, the magazine will be distributed electronically (pdf and app) and, probably, in print. We also have a periodic newsletter highlighting the best essays and news published on the site, besides some exclusive content. If you’re interested in getting the newsletter directly on your email inbox, all you have to do is subscribe. Subscribers to the newsletter will get the first issue of Aksgar in pdf format absolutely free.

If you think that your work is suitable for Aksgar Magazine, we are accepting submissions.

Do take a look at what we have around there, and tell us what you think. Here’s a few examples of what you can find in Aksgar.
