Finding resources as a beginner, novice, or professional photographer/artist to showcase your work can sometimes be difficult given the saturation of our industry. It may seem as if there is a secret society that only the fortunate artists are invited to. I am here to tell you that that iss not the case! All it takes is a little digging behind the scenes. After some extensive researching and falling into the “Rabbit Hole” of the world wide web, I’ve been able to find ton of more resources for submitting your work!
You can thank me later. ;P
