Photographers and Models: Blue Blood VIP Call for Photo Submissions

Blue Blood is currently considering new photographic submissions from now through the end of September 2014. Work will be considered on a rolling basis and deadline for this reading period is September 30, 2014.

While Blue Blood is open to beginners, it is a creative venue for established photographers, artists who have a vision and are committed to their craft. Blue Blood is primarily interested in contributions from those who have a significant body of work. Photographers Blue Blood has published include Justice Howard, Gunter Blum, Carlos Batts, Bodó Janos Attila, Chad Michael Ward, Ashley Fontenot, Christine Kessler, Roman Sluka, Larry Bradby, Julie Simone, Jim Hancock, Jay Allan, and, of course, Amelia G and Forrest Black.

blueblood call for photographic art submissions

Publication process:

(1) Create great work (or find that collection of great work you’ve created.)

(2) Porfolio review: Email samples or a portfolio link to submit@blueblood.net. Social media profiles, such as Instagram or even ModelMayhem, are fine for the purpose of a portfolio to show what your work is like. If you are accepted to submit, you will receive an invitation at this stage. Blue Blood considers portfolios from all, but Blue Blood only accepts actual set submissions from invited artists at this time. If you do not hear back within 2 weeks, please feel welcome to contact again to follow up.

(3) Receive a DropBox invite.

(4) Submission: Submit your full completed sets via DropBox.

(5) Get your work accepted and complete final paperwork.

(6) Get published, tell everyone you know, get paid, and celebrate!

(7) Repeat :-)

Themes to consider in selecting what to submit:

GothicSluts.com – gothic girls, the more dark eyeliner/black lips/bats/spiderwebs/fishnets, the better

BarelyEvil.com – punk teens, strange insertions and devil themes are plusses

EroticFandom.com – science fiction and fantasy themes, cosplay, comic books, monster makeup, vampires

RubberDollies.com – latex and rubber couture, both on and off altmodels

BlueBlood.com – preference for real life counterculture couples shoots

Models with more than 50 completed shoots, and at least one popular social media profile, are also invited to query about doing a site themed around them.

It is strongly preferred that a number of photo sets be submitted at the same time. Most sets feature a sequence of some sort and tell a bit of a story and thus end up being 60 to 160 images. Rates can be higher, if you do the post-processing, but you do not have to. Less explicit sets are expected to be shorter and more explicit series are usually longer. Work submitted on a piecemeal basis is generally considered long after work submitted in batches. Submissions will be temporarily closed after the September 30, 2014 deadline.

So I think I’m going to back the Kickstarter for the SHEATH 2.0 – Functionality Where it Matters Most. I have an innie, rather than an outie, when it comes to genitals, so I have no idea whether the whole lift and separate thing would feel comfy and awesome or awful or superfluous. I…( Read more )

It Puts the Lotion on Its Skin for Silicone Interior Designer

Okay, it’s hard to avoid the serial killer jokes, when faced with an art installation of chairs designed to feel like they are made of human skin. Most folks I know, who use lifelike silicone, employ it to mimic very specific body parts. (I mean, the penis, followed distantly by the vulva,…( Read more )

I don’t know if this particular set of filmmakers is especially extra-equipped to tell the true story of what really happened with D&D, Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson et. al. or not. But the teaser clip in their promo video is very intriguing. And they say they have traveled all over the . . .
