Last fall, Emerging Photographer relaunched as a submission-based magazine for up-and-coming artists. Eleven photographers were selected to be featured in our Winter 2014 issue—some who are still in school and others who have already begun to make a lasting impact as professional photographers. We are confident that each of their visions will have longevity within this industry. This gallery showcases a few images from each of the eleven photographers’ featured series.
2015 marks the third iteration of the Lucie Foundation's Instagram Jam, originally conceived by Shaughn Crawford. This year will feature 20+ Instagram sensations including Tasya van Ree ARTIST, Downtown Muse,South Bay Muse and many more. A portion of the print sales will benefit SNAPSHOP!, Lucie Foundation’s at-risk youth workshop program.
Pro'jekt LA 2 features the works of artists included in both Emerging Photographer and the 2015 Instagram Jam.
