To the thread starter, thank you for posting this. I would just like to clarify some details about what we're doing to avoid some misunderstanding. My name is Dario Tibay and I am the Creative Director for
EDGE Print Media Pte. Ltd. (Registration no. 201116729H) a newly formed company and we will be launching a photo-based magazine in Singapore entitled "
Images," a unique quarterly magazine that will introduce a new concept in publishing to serve as a new channel for people to share photos and articles for others to view and read.
With photographic technology growing in leaps and bounds and cameras becoming more sophisticated and affordable, the number of people getting into photography has been rising steadily using a wide assortment of devices ranging from phone cameras, point-and-shoot compact cameras, pro-sumer cameras and DSLRs. The traditional ones would have their photos printed and collected in albums to be enjoyed by their immediate and maybe extended family at most. The more techie ones would probably store their photos in their mobile phones and show them off to a select few. Others who are internet savvy would probably share their digital photos with their friends and family via email, or social networking sites but that would be pretty much limited to who they know. Otherwise, most of the photos these people are taking are just stored in hard drives or photo CDs and DVDs. What
Images magazine is offering is a medium which could reach a much wider audience with a common interest, which we feel no magazine has done so far. We aim to create a community of like-minded people—novices, casual shooters, hobbyists, enthusiasts, non-professionals, professionals—who have the same passion in photography as ours.
All the copyrights to the photographs and articles handed in to us belong to the respective individuals who submitted them and will credited and acknowledged accordingly.
EDGE Print Media Pte. Ltd. only acquires the permissions to reproduce the images, including but not limited to editorial and commercial purposes such as: printing, promotions, advertising, Web, and digital publishing. Contributors are compensated by having their work published, recognized, and appreciated by their peers.
For our maiden issue, we will be having "Faces of Singapore" as our theme due to be out in October 2011. Other segments in the magazine will feature subjects such as places, travel, destinations, weddings, architecture, portraits, food, landmarks and many more.
In this light, I would like to encourage everyone to participate in this very unique medium that we are offering. You can find more information about us on our
Web site. You can also find us in
Facebook,
Twitter and
LinkedIn.
