Progressive Street has launched a platform on Facebook for photographers, where they can share images that have an impact. The platform seeks images that communicate emotions, are thought-provoking, and convey beauty without being superficial. The platform focuses on capturing the soul, joy, and pain of the subject - essentially, perfect imperfection. The images may be manipulated to achieve the desired effect.
The platform is not just about photographic techniques; it's about how the photograph is used as a starting point or driving force to create art. The images should be by design, perhaps part of a project or personal research by the photographer. Accidental shots and over-processed images are not welcomed.
The platform will feature a small magazine, which will be issued occasionally and may be monographic or collective. There are no fixed deadlines, and the journey will be a learning experience. The platform creators thank everyone for joining them on this exciting adventure.
In keeping with the positive nature and the learning we’ll go through, we should consider the following:
1) Expressions should not be categorized or judged.
2) Images should be discussed constructively, with a focus on raising the bar for everyone.
3) The editorial team will select the most interesting images and authors to feature on their website and in the magazine.
