EMBRACE THE ART OF LIVING

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The hommage magazine is about a positive, free spirited photography with a touch of a 80s retro vibe.

We embrace storytelling and most importantly put an emphasis on the feeling, not pursuing any technical perfection. Wherever we can we try to shoot on film, as its characteristics embody the spirit of the past. This might include women, free spirited sports, travel and food.

For Submitters:

Focus on crafting a small narrative (coherent) with your photos, exploring the emotions they evoke. Consider, "How does it feel what I am trying to show?" and enhance your submissions with a variety of supporting images—close-ups, environment shots, and details are all welcome.

Aside of epic shots, be alive, have fun, enjoy life and play with the perspective or context: Be the first person documentary photographer, the best friend, the voyer, the lover or in best case, a mix of showing epic shots as well personal feelings.

Women and Free Spirits: We focus on portrayals that are naturally intertwined with freedom and spontaneity. Nudity, when present, should resonate with free-spiritedness and not sexual connotations. While not mandatory, aesthetic nudity should feel organic, not forced—reflective of the carefree beach culture of the '80s. Top-less beach scenes, bikinis, and implied nudity are also embraced within our narrative.

Sports and Leisure: Showcase the joy of free-spirited sports, from skateboarding and surfing to any summer activity that conveys positivity and fits within our summer narrative.

Travel: We love travel stories and culinary adventures captured on film, bringing out the magical, vintage look that film inherently provides.

What we avoid:

No political agendas, social media movements, portrayals of wars, poverty, or social grievances.

Avoid images that evoke negative emotions or any dark concepts like bondage.
