Submitting for ADQ



I'm ready to submit! They didn't specify how many photos to submit, maybe this is something I should ask about before submitting in the future.
They gave specifications on size so that the photos will print and fit in the magazine, which I have adhered to. I think this is good practise for real-world submissions and work, since I know the context in which my photos will be going into.
Pinching myself to remember that THIS IS REAL A REAL-WORLD SUBMISSION. This could be PUBLISHED... Scary and overwhelming. I'd love to see my dolls in print but I won't be disheartened if I'm not successful this time. I can still post the photos to my social media pages and people will see them.
I can always try again.
Plus, this is only my first submission to ADQ. Surely the more I submit, the more familiar and close the tenor between us will be. A working relationship. It's a conversation and we might not hit it off this time but I am the Queen of persistence.

I'm really happy with these photos. I wish I'd had longer to work on them because there's so much more I want to add. I want to make more food, create more dolls and make the scene BIGGER. Just do MORE of what I did.

I think it's successful in my aim to communicate the fun of the fair. It's vibrant and exciting, though maybe not busy enough. The abundance of food and colour makes the images seem fragrant, visually stimulating the senses.

The photographs could be much sharper, brighter and well composed. I need to practise and learn how to light little dioramas like this better...
