Contributors:
Advertisers have the first chance to contribute guest articles to the blog site. Articles are a great opportunity for you to build exposure and position yourself as an expert among our core audience of photographers.

All guest bloggers must include educational content in their post to insure that our readers continue to get educational value from the resources we provide.  All content must be pre-approved by our staff and we reserve the right to edit or not print any material submitted.

While we do not allow you post the same blog article on your own blog site, we highly encourage you to direct your social network to the article via your blog and/or social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Product Reviews:
We work closely with a number of photographers across the country and we are delighted to assist with product reviews. If you are new to the photography market or just have a new product to debut and would like testimonials from professional photographers you have come to the right place.

We will connect our sponsors and advertisers to photographers within our network that will commit to using your products, writing reviews and taking photos of your products in use, if applicable. We’ll provide you with the reviews to use on your sites and post at least a portion of those reviews on our sites.

To qualify for this program we only ask that you meet the following criteria:

Advertise at least 3 months a year or sponsor at least 3 contests a year

Allow the photographer(s) who review your products to keep them for use in their business
