Hello, again,

Last week, I wrote about all the ways you can write LGBTQ stories for us at INTO — and today we are opening up pitches for visuals.

We’ve already published some incredible work and in the past have collaborated with amazing photographers and videographers including Steven Klein, Matt Lambert and Matthias Vriens-Mcgrath.

But we are wanting to do more.

Here are some bullet points on what makes us very excited — and we invite you to pitch us anything you’d like to work with us on. Of course, pitches are not limited to what is outlined below, but we must start somewhere:

· Photo essays and videos. Can be documentary or more artistic/stylized.

· Spotlighting an underground or cultural movement, cult following or cutting edge concept or fetish.

· On-camera portraits of people, places or things that rarely get the attention they deserve. A good portrait takes a subject, helps broaden and complicates their life in an intimate way.

· Fashion and art stories, totally open to being as creative as possible. Open to any fashion credits.

· Music and dance art videos.

· Sex and sexuality in ways that go deeper than just f*cking. Nothing explicit, too graphic or pornography.

· Real life love stories. Did you or someone you know fall in love on Grindr? Or did meeting someone on Grindr change your life? Show us your Grindr experiences through a photo essay or video.

· Traveling — Do you use Grindr to find out the best places to see in a new city? Document your journey and show us!

Photo specs:

· Each photo story should be around 10 images.

· Please send all photo-essays with an introduction and detailed explanation in an email. If images are already finished, please link or preview as an attachment.

· High res images must be around 1mb and DPI 72.

· No full frontal nudity or drug use.

Video specs:

· Videos should short form, no time restraint, but make sure they are not any longer than they need to be and that they keep the viewers’ attention.

· Apart from that we are totally open to you being as creative as possible.

If you have any questions of concerns, feel free to reach out.

To submit pitches, just email submissions@intomore.com with a description of what you’re wanting to do, proof of other works and links to anything you’re proud of.

We are anxiously waiting :)
