We are looking for photographs and illustrations to accompany the articles and essays in the magazine. Whenever possible, we seek to print art that has not previously appeared in other publications.
We pay $60/photo. In addition to the photos we need to accompany stories, we also publish a regular feature, “1,000 Words,” that highlights environmental photography.
If you have photos for our upcoming issues, or if you think your work would be suitable for “1,000 Words,” please send an e-mail to the editor.
Portfolios can also be sent by physical mail to:
