Technical Specifications
All images should be shot with the intent of minimal post editing in photoshop. So all things that can be fixed on the day of the shoot should be, such as background papers and floors being clean and smooth where applicable. All hair, makeup, clothing and props shouldn't have to be fixed post shoot and will only be fixed if there is no other option. culture Magazine reserves the right to use their creative licence with all submitted images when designing the layout of the spread.
