Film origin
Work shot on silver halide, instant, or alternative analog processes. Scans from negatives, transparencies, or contact prints. No digital originals, no AI generation.

What we look for
Six qualities we ask of every frame
Resimdizin is not a stock library or a viral feed. It is a curated archive of analog photography made slowly, on purpose, by people who treat the shutter as a sentence. These six attributes shape our review.
Authentic light
Available or shaped light, recorded honestly. We admire frames where grain, flare, and falloff are part of the language, not noise to be erased in post.
Series coherence
Submissions should read as a body of work, not a highlight reel. We look for visual rhythm, recurring concerns, and a through-line the eye can follow.
Context & caption
Each series arrives with a short artist statement and per-image notes. We want to know where, when, and with what — and what the work is reaching for beyond the picture plane.
Print & scan quality
Scans at 3000+ px on the long edge, uncompressed TIFF or high-quality JPEG. Dust spotted, color balanced by eye, no heavy-handed filters or generative fills.
Respect for subjects
People photographed with consent, communities represented with care, and stories told from within wherever possible. This is non-negotiable for us.
The contributor process
From your darkroom to our archive
Four stages, kept deliberately human. We read every submission twice, write back whether the answer is yes or no, and stay in correspondence through publication and beyond.
01
Prepare the work
Edit your series down to its strongest 8–25 images. Write a 120–200 word statement, plus a one-line caption for each frame. Scan at 3000px+ on the long edge.
02
Send the submission
Use the form linked below. We accept a single transfer link (WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive) — no inline attachments, no zipped folders inside the form.
03
Editorial review
Two editors read your work. If we are interested, we write a short note and propose a path: a feature, a Collection, or a quiet portfolio in our archive.
04
Publication
We sequence the edit together, write a short intro, and publish on a Tuesday morning. You retain all rights; we credit, link, and never resell your files.
Editorial standards
Technical & ethical guidelines
A short list of things we ask of every contributor. None of it is unusual — but we want it written down so the work, when it arrives, can speak for itself.
Original capture onlyAll images must be captured by you on analog stock. No scans of digital files, no second-source prints.
Honest post-productionDust removal, color balance, and cropping are welcome. Compositing, generative fill, and heavy filters are not.
Written consentIdentifiable people require a release or a clear public-context note in your caption. We will ask before publishing.
Exif & provenanceCamera body, lens, stock, push/pull, and scanner should appear in a small metadata table at the end of your statement.
Rights retainedYou keep copyright. We receive a non-exclusive display license. We never resell files or license them to third parties.
One series at a timePlease wait for a response before sending another body of work. We read them in the order they arrive, always.
Why publish with us
A small, careful audience for slow work
Resimdizin is read by working photographers, editors, curators, and the kind of viewers who still print zines. Three reasons contributors keep coming back.
A readership that lingers
Our average read time on a feature is 7 minutes. Our readers print work, write to artists, and follow up months later. We do not chase virality — we chase attention that stays.
Designed for the work
Our layout is built around the image. No carousels, no autoplay, no interstitial ads. Frames appear at the size you shot them, with room to breathe and room to be read.
Quiet, real distribution
We send a weekly Sunday letter to 14,000+ subscribers and post a single feature per week to our social channels. Your series gets a Tuesday morning slot of its own.
From contributors
Notes from photographers we have published
We do not run a testimonials carousel. These are two short letters we received by email and asked permission to keep on the site.
Submitting to Resimdizin felt like sending a folio to a small magazine, not a content platform. The editor wrote back by hand, asked two thoughtful questions, and then sequenced the edit with me on a call. The layout treated the frames the way I had hoped someone, somewhere, would.
I have been turned down by bigger publications and quietly accepted here. The note that came back was specific, generous, and pointed at the work rather than at trends. Six months later they ran the series in a Sunday letter and I sold three prints to readers in places I had never been. That is the audience I wanted.
Send us a series worth a second look
Prepare 8–25 frames, a short statement, and a transfer link. We read every submission within fourteen days, in the order it arrives, and we write back either way.
