  • SHOWCASE INFO HERE

  • We only consider exclusive work for print.

    Your images can be shared on social media but we are not in the practice of re-publishing work.

    Important. The images you submit MUST be exclusive to this submission.

    CHECK WITH THE MODEL OR PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WORKED WITH THAT THEY ARE NOT ALSO SUBMITTING CONTENT ELSEWHERE.

    This means the full shoot. 

    We are not interested in work where you do a shoot and send 4 images to one publication, 4 others to another publication and 4 others to another publication.

    We ask for exclusive sets.

    This includes slight wardrobe changes. A different hair flower or wardrobe changes in the same setting with the same makeup and hair application most often does not make the photos look different enough to most viewers.

    If you are a model at a shootout with five different photographers working with you on the same nylon backdrop with the same wardrobe we will look at those photos as the same.

    DO NOT submit the same session's work to multiple magazines. Should Retro Lovely Publishing accept and publish a submission we find published in another publication you may be banned from future submissions.

  • Please only submit multiple models when they appear WITH EACH OTHER in photos. If you are a photographer DO NOT submit 10 different models who are by themselves in each photo. In those cases make multiple submissions. This is for internal processing and tracking purposes. The same is true for models. DO not submit 10 images of yourself by 10 different photographers. Our submissions are based on "sets", not a retrospective of your work.

  • While we ask for which publication you intend this for understand and watch your emails for indication on which title WE ACCEPT IT FOR. Some have higher requirements for image quality, execution and styling. WE OFFER what title we would include your work in if accepted. You can decline if you so choose but WHAT YOU LIST HERE IS NOT A GUARANTEE.

  • Image-223
  • Image-407
  • DO NOT submit for a special theme on the day of the deadline. and we accept Your submission MUST be at least 72 hours in advance. 

    WE NEED ALL RELEASES WITHIN 48 hours of a Theme's deadline. 

    ALL individuals you list in the submission.

    YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE at ensuring they do this. 

  • Please review our special themes here: http://retrolovely.com/special-edition-themes-deadlines/

    If you submit for a theme that has passed the submission deadline and we accept the set, we will indicate what title or alternate special edition with the acceptance email.

  • Image-222
  • EMAIL ADDRESSES CAN NOT BE UPDATED. You will need to start over if they are incorrect - EVEN AFTER WE ACCEPT A SUBMISSION.

    We MUST have unique email addresses for models and photographers. If they are not, the submission will be declined. Double check the emails. Once you hit submit these become locked and can not be updated. If there is an issue, you will need to resubmit.

  • Please note, we are no longer reviewing or accepting work produced by Varga Photography. You will not get a response on any.

  • FILE UPLOADS:  NO PHONE PICTURES.

    PLEASE READ THIS

    Below you can upload up to 10 images. Only one upload field shows initially. More fields will become available as you fill them. We've done it this way to keep this form more clean. You can only upload one image per field. If you have a favorite you can let us know by uploading it first.

    NO WATERMARKS OR LOGOS: 

    The submission will be declined and will not be reviewed. You will need to start over.

    Files must be at least 1.2. megabytes in size or you will get an error. This is because they are too small to publish. Please do not email us telling us you got an error. That's this form doing its job for us. Please do not ask if you can email them instead, that won't magically make the files you have larger. Please talk to the photographer about getting higher resolution files. We have more info on our guidelines page here: http://retrolovely.com/submission-guidelines-and-tips/

      IF YOU GET AN ERROR THAT YOUR FILES ARE TOO SMALL and you are ready to email us, please use this online file size checker first:

    https://www.pictorem.com/checkprintsize.html

    • Model 1, Have you been in one of our issues before? Have you purchased copies? Upload a selfie holding them SHOWING the spines and we'll try to get you more space for this feature. Many models have gotten covers this way! Some models have now been identified for our new SHOWCASE title where one model is featured exclusively in an issue. For more details on SHOWCASE visit our website and click on the SHOWCASE link or click the graphic above.

      SPINES MUST BE CLEARLY VISIBLE IN YOUR SELFIE.

      WE ONLY WANT TO SEE OUR PUBLICATIONS.

      DO NOT ADD IN OTHER PUBLISHER'S ISSUES especially those that are stapled at the binding, we can spot those instantly and it makes us wonder if you even read this.

      If your selfie includes a staple-bound publication (which we do not produce)

      We will not give your submission any additional consideration.

    • MAKEUP AND HAIR CREDITS

      Please discuss this with each other. When you make a choice below appropriate fields will display. Exactly what you enter will be printed in the issue. We do not include instagram tags in print. Please do not enter them.

      If nothing is entered, nothing gets printed. Any corrections once an issue is finalized is only possible with a fee. That's incentive to get this right.

      DO NOT LEAVE NOTES FOR US IN THESE FIELDS - THEY WILL BE PRINTED

      If you are the model filling this in, and you did your own Makeup and Hair PLEASE re-enter your name. Putting "Myself" or "Self" doesn't really make sense in the context of credit info.
