Hi, a little while ago I read somewhere, or someone told me about a website where you can browse through potential publications/clients requesting book covers, cover artwork, image.. things, sort of like a stock site, but much more defined & people post what they're looking for first so everyone can have a go at offering their work and the client can choose.

Was I dreaming.. or does this actually exist?! If it does, could someone point me in the right direction?? :D:D
 
GAHHHH I dunnoooooooooo!!!!

Nick, when you say obscure, what do you mean.. my work can be a little obscure, might be just for me..

I'll go and have another look but I know for sure that photographersdirect is not the site I'm thinking about :)

1) REPOSTING: Inspirational images shot on Canon digital SLRs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requests are listed in order of budget - highest budget first
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date : 25th October 2009
Deadline : 20th November 2009
Request No.9273
Request Title: REPOSTING: INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES SHOT ON CANON DIGITAL SLRS
Request:
We are looking for top-class images to publish in our UK-based photographic magazine. The magazine is designed to appeal to hobby photographers who use Canon digital SLRs - so all pictures submitted must, in turn, also be shot on Canon EOS digital SLR bodies (although lenses can be from any manufacturer)

We need a constant supply of inspirational images that we can use in our gallery pages, and to help illustrate our technique features.

Any subject matter is considered - however, the following will increase the chances of your pictures being used:
- landscape and outdoor pictures are favourites
- portraits are good, as long as they do not look too commercial
- pictures demonstrating strong photographic technique are good
- colourful images are good
- we try to keep content reasonably seasonal. We are currently working on late autumn, early winter issues (however, we will keep great unseasonal pictures on file until a time we feel they are better suited)

IMAGES MUST BE SHOT ON A CANON DIGITAL SLR!

Format : either landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical)
Use : editorial
Budget
Inside, 1/4 page : UK£60.00
Notes on Budget : Pictures are bought at £120 for full page use, £60 for half page use, and £200 for a double-page spread. Covers are £200.

Buyer Rating : *** (3 stars)
Country : United Kingdom
 
ooooohhhhhh thank you for that cut & paste! the first is a little.. yes obscure I guess is the word! second looks good :)

in order to sign upto PD, do you need to immediately submit images for stock? Or could I sign up and still be able to receive email updates?

Thanks, Lou ;)
