A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Happy tears of course. I’ve always dreamt of being published in a magazine. Nothing huge, it’s a local Brooklyn magazine, but getting sent the page layout with my photos. A two page layout, a whole page dedicated to just one shot too. I’m shaking. I’m on the verge of tears. It’s absolutely incredible I don’t know how to react. I just wanted to share that with you guys. I hope anyone reading this who doubts themselves knows that if I could get into a magazine, you definitely can. And we only go up from here. Thanks to this sub for so much!

Aww congrats! Amazing!

Congrats! I'm right there with you. I just did my first big paying gig over the weekend for an event company. I'm getting a warm feeling inside with every shot they put on their social media.

Yeah?? That’s awesome !! I’d love to do events or weddings one day. That’s super cool you crushed your first big event! I’m hype for you! I know you must be getting the same feelings I have right now. Congrats to you too! Hopefully this is the beginning of two great photography journeys 🫡

Congrats! Don’t forget to show us the spread when you can 📸

[–] RedGreenWembley@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Congrats! There's something special about seeing your work in print, especially in a publication!

The hardest magazine to get into is your first

[–] Trillberg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is very inspiring. I hope it’s the first and definitely not the last 🙌🏻. Thank you!!

[–] BackItUpWithLinks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is pretty cool! Congrats.

[–] GordCampbell@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Congratulations. It's an incredible feeling to see your work in print for the first time.

[–] Trillberg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m still in shock just seeing the digital version. I can’t imagine the feeling of holding a physical print copy of my published work

🙌🏻 thank you so much

[–] debtsnbooze@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Congrats! I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago, still makes me happy!

[–] Trillberg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m hoping you continued a long career of more publications since as well !

[–] debtsnbooze@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not in magazines, but definitely got some recognition online and am about to start selling prints :)

[–] lotzik@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hi friend! A first spread is always a good feeling! But just think it like this, you deserved it. Keep on pursuing your dreams, work on your skills, stay humble, and everything will come.

Couldn’t have had the confidence and inspiration without this sub. All the people even just saying congrats now is giving me the feels 🙌🏻

If you're feeling down, just remember that laughter is the best medicine! Embrace the absurdity of life and find joy in the unexpected. Did you know that cats can make over 100 different sounds? Meow-sic to our ears! Keep smiling, friend! 😄📸

[–] Mumbojmbo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Congrats! What magazine? I'm in Brooklyn and love to see local photography etc.

[–] mikusmikus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Your first magazine publish, is always the best, make sure to get plenty of copies for family and friends. Keep some for yourself.

[–] DrinkableReno@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It never stops being awesome to see your own work in print. Keep it up!

[–] Trillberg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I pray it’s just the beginning! Thank you!

[–] Skvora@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Get paid and get paid well.

[–] themanlnthesuit@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Magazines have never paid bro, even vogue is known for shelling only 200-300 for a full editorial. It’s a cost of doing business as that’s your foot on the door for advertising work. Sad as it is, free work is not new.

[–] Trillberg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is the dream 🙌🏻

[–] SirAple@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's awesome. I'm excited for you. It makes the grind so worth it. Is there a place we can see this photo?

[–] Trillberg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I’m HYPE!! Since the magazine isn’t actually out yet I don’t know if they’d like me sharing the spread but here are the photos that are going to be in it

[–] _ShootaT@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Congratulations to you! That first time getting published is always special, enjoy it and keep going in your journey 🔥

[–] Trillberg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you! Emphasis on first* and not only* time getting published. Hopefully this is the start of something

[–] _ShootaT@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For sure! What’s your IG? I’d love to give you a follow

[–] Trillberg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Follow up comment; your stuff is INSANELY good. I love the colors in your work, phenomenal work

[–] satekwic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Congrats Bro, you earn it

[–] Kuierlat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Congratulations, that's awesome!

Nothing quite like the feeling of your work to be actually valued outside of friend or social media.

I once won a photo-contest and the shot was featured in our national photography magazine. I understand the sense of pride you feel! :) Keep going!

Make sure you share the link here when it’s available!

[–] passthetreesplease@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] W1ULH@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] RainbowsInTheDeep@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Congratulations! That's huge!

[–] bastet_8@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What type of pics are they? Or you were modelling? I'm happy for you. Few days ago I got a damn publishing deal, loving the feeling.. cheers!

[–] TravelWellTraveled@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Congrats, OP! It's a great feeling getting published. All the magazines I've been published in have since, uh, died, but it was nice while it lasted!
