Handout Photographers

Photography is one of the major pillars of Different Class.

It creates a strong foundation and distinct feel that we strive for throughout the magazine, the website and all our social channels.

We put a lot of value in the quality and originality of the photographs and, by means of a more autonomous approach, aim to tell a story through every series.

style

Make sure we have photos of the subjects in both compositions. The cover for online articles is landscape, the cover of our magazine is portrait.

All files should have the same size and in jpeg format.

  • 300 dpi for magazine (CMYK)
  • 72 dpi for online use (RGB)
specs

While the artist is, of course, the main focus of the shoot, make sure to make an autonomous series by including still-life shots too.

Action and more natural-looking shots of your subject often work better. Please stay away from posed or typical ‘band photography'.

Something to keep in mind: when you're shooting in a dark environment, it might be better to take some photos in daylight too (in front of the museum or in the neighbourhood for example).

use

By sending your files and accepting our payments you grant us permission to use your images and video on all channels (online and offline); magazines, socials, website, ... + on your own channels ONLY.

If the partner wishes to publish your photos on their channels, we negotiate with them and you'll get an additional fee. If the subjects wants to use the image, you are free to make an additional deal.

amount

We can use as many photos as you like to send, but we'll need at least 6 to 8 to make a nice story.

behind-the-scenes

We also ask our photographers to make a couple of short, unedited (iPhone) videos while the interview happens.

Our online team can use them to make the feature more interesting and alive on social media.

shares

We would appreciate it if the publication on your own channels happens after we have published them on the website and our socials. :-)
