Repackaging Lightbox Photography Magazine

julianw · 13th April 2004

Dear CSers,

As you are probably aware, Lightbox photography magazine is a fairly new
local publication, which made its debut in December last year. After
three issues, I understand the editorial team has received a number of
constructive comments and are currently actively working to "repackage"
the publication so it can better cater to the needs of the various
photography communities.

I write this in my new capacity as chief editor of Lightbox, after
having been invited to join the team.

We all know that an excellent photography magazine is one that features
informative articles and superb printed photographs. This would not be
possible without a pool of writers and photographers who are good at
what they do.

As part of our revamp, I’ve managed to invite Professor Li Yuan, a
prominent US-based landscape photographer to join us as a regular
contributor. Prof Li will be sharing his philosophy and knowledge
relating to the craft. Prof Li was in town recently, when he gave an
inspirational talk at SAFRA.

Prof Li’s addition to the team is but the first of many things I hope to
introduce to the magazine. I’m working hard to source out other
credible and well-versed professionals in this arena.

However, in order to continue augmenting the standard of the magazine,
it is necessary to also seek out the input of readers every step of the
way.

Please take this as a personal invitation to contribute to the magazine
by sharing with us your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, articles or photo
essays. Your views matter to us, and will be crucial in helping us bring
you a more substantial read, and one that gets better all the time.

We are particularly keen on articles in the following areas:

1. Travel
2. Philosophy
3. Fashion & Portraiture
4. Studio & Commercial
5. Black & White
6. Techniques
7. Journalism
8. Product Reviews

I look forward to hearing your fabulous ideas! I certainly hope we will
have the opportunity to work together and make this THE preferred local
photography publication.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or email
editor@chasingsun.com.

Julian W.
Chief Editor, Lightbox
