Writing for
photographers
Colleagues,
I'm frequently impressed with the striking
and important photographic work you professional photographers do
working
around the world.
And since I didn't shoot those great
photographs
that you shot, I at least itch to write about them.
As I encounter some
of you colleagues while on assignment somewhere (like Monument
Valley photo safari), or I check photography sites,
like
those listed on my own photo
links page, and view your reportage, documentary, photo
essays,
wildlife and other kinds of photographic work, I wonder why your
projects
don't get even more public exposure than they do already.
After all, they're so impressive, or they
are so important or both.
I often think your photographs could get more
exposure by illustrating a magazine article, be expanded into a book,
or
perhaps you and your photographic work should be highlighted within the
pages of a photographic magazine.
And I am interested in considering projects
like these and pitching them to editors I work with.
Some of you photographers are also excellent
writers. But time constraints don't always allow you to link the
photographs
you take to expanded writing projects, and that's where we might
collaborate.
I'm interested in hearing serious proposals
for collaboration involving your photography and my writing. You can
e-mail
me at pat@patchristian.com.
Best regards,
Pat Christian
