Polliwog Magazine is created and curated by Rebecca Rijsdijk. Polliblog is being maintained by Rebecca Rijsdijk and Lauren Hillebrandt.

No Culture Icons is an online photography collective, showcasing the best in new up and coming photographers from around the world.

As the response to our annual Talent call was tremendous and the quality was quite impressive, we decided to create space on Flickr, where talents from across the world can keep posting their images. Even though the winners were selected a while ago, and their portfolios have been published in Foam Magazine #20 / Talent that launched 10^th September, the Flickr page remains open for submissions.

The Black Snapper presents young photography talent from all over the world.

The magazine has gone live on August 1st 2009 and is working with guest curators such as Abbas of Magnum Photos, Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts in Japan, International Photo Festival Bangladesh, Centro de la Imagen in Peru and The New York Times Magazine. In the Netherlands, guest curators include nrc.next, Vrij Nederland magazine and Canvas International Art.

Each day The Black Snapper presents a different photographer selected by one of the many guest curators, who switch places on a weekly basis. Visitors of the online magazine can expect to see a new series of some eight to twenty photos each day.

The Black Snapper aims to create an online community that will inspire professionals and photography lovers worldwide and expose new talent. In addition, the online magazine emphatically supports the emancipation and promotion of photographers from Asia, Africa and South America.

The online magazine will refresh daily at midnight on the international dateline. Next to the presented photos, project description and/or artist statements are published and the curators will explain their choices. The diversity of the guest curators prevents any one taste or preference from becoming dominant.

Please visit our archive section, where previously displayed images are stored, our navigate to publishing photographers’ own website or representing gallery.

The Black Snapper is the brainchild of designer Frank Kloos and documentary photographer Diederik Meijer, both based in Amsterdam. The online magazine was born from their passion for photography. The Black Snapper uses the Internet to discover and present photographic talent from all over the world in a faster and more uncomplicated way.

1000 Words is an online magazine dedicated to highlighting the best work being produced internationally in photography today. It encourages critical awareness with photography through engaging articles from widely published arts writers across the world. We are committed to showing portfolios of highly established photographers alongside those of emerging artists in the aim of bringing their work to a wider audience. Often incredibly diverse in terms of subjects, concepts, styles and techniques, yet by covering a wide spectrum of genres 1000 Words intends to make us reconsider the contemporary photograph.

This blog is about photography and photographers.

I like to use this site as way to share work that I find interesting and by doing so, help and promote the work of emerging photographers. I think that contemporary photography is vibrant, highly creative and this generation of photographers includes invaluable talent that will re-define the scope of the aesthetics of photography in the future.

There are infinite views to describe what photography means and what photography brings to us. In the way I feel it, photography is “a process” to experience and discover life and the world around us. It is “a process” that allows to create unique connections with people and reveals who we are, sometimes it becomes part of our own discovery.  I hope you will enjoy with me this journey.

La Pura Vida, founded in 2007 by Bryan Formhals, features monthly group shows edited by various photographers, as well as a daily blog with regular features, photography news and commentary.

Nofound is a blog-project where contemporary photographers are invited to show fragments of their diary.

Beginning in december 2007.

« Someone once told me ‘ok, so what you like about photography is : sex, drugs and rock and roll!’. I don’t like rock and roll ! With ‘nofound’, I chose to open a space for contemporary photographers to show fragments of their intimate diaries. Go and find the moment wether it was intentional or not. Who cares ? I don’t… The look through the eye of the storm, the one picture that will bring out memories, the universal image allowing us to say ‘me too’. The one showing us our one humanity through a presence, a glimpse of happiness, a violence, or an absence. This isn’t a photo lesson, I wouldn’t dare, just a try to search, universes. That’s why, ‘nofound’. » Emeric Glayse

« One of the best things about the internet - in fact one of the few saving graces of the internet - is the abundance of great little projects : online galleries and portfolios one stumbles across while playing link tag from one website to the next. Often I find myself spending an afternoon indulging in the digital equivalent of ‘six degrees of Kevin Bacon.’ I discovered ‘nofound’ on one such afternoon. The brainchild of Emeric Glayse, a French-born connoisseur of beautiful contemporary photography, ‘nofound’ excels in the unknown, both in terms of content - dark brooding nudity and blurry intimacy blend seamlessly with ghostly landscapes and private moments - and contributors. Emeric Glayse likes the underdogs, the newcomers, and those fresh on the heels of established photographers ; he’s created not only a platform for these whippersnappers, but also a community. Names both familiar and soon-to-be-familiar link, discuss, and exhibit together on a regular basis. Ryan Foerster, Olivia Malone, Brad Troemel, Lina Scheynius (who shot a fashion story for our upcoming issue), Sean Orena, Jonnie Craig and Dana Goldstein will all make regular appearances both in your book collection and your bookmarks folder before too long. Spend a few minutes wandering through ‘nofound’, and you’ll understand why Emeric Glayse chose his contributors and confidants ; spend an hour longer and your fingers will be sore from all the googling, url-ing, and picture saving. » Philip Watts for Dossier Journal

ROMKA is a magazine for photography and features international amateurs, students and professionals. The idea behind it is to create a showcase for pictures that are not necessarily a representative excerpt of your work, but your most favorite pictures. These could of course be part of your portfolio, but also private pictures of your friends and family, snapshots, those that make you laugh or cry or the ones you can’t even remember taking. This is not about self-portrayal, not about technical perfection or fancy topics. This is not about style.
