The magazine that we’re publishing is called Fotoblur Magazine and the way it works is photographers submits their best work and then the same photographers vote on which images they want to see in the publication. We also employ the assistance of guest editors who are also photographers to choose from the top images to make sure we have a diverse selection in the final publication.
