The Brussels Review: Photography Gold Star Program Gold Star Free Tip Jar Option

We publish photography as art, not documentation. Subject is not a category here: a street, a face, a body or a field is only where the photograph starts. We care what the image sees that we would not.

What we look for

Ambiguity over sentimentality, sharpness over indulgence, restraint over noise. An image with a point of view, not only a subject. Technical skill without vision does not interest us.

The pleasant, the picturesque and the postcard are not for us: sunsets, pets, landscapes as scenery. Nature photography only if it shows something we have not already seen. Nudes are welcome, without pornography and without prudishness.

How to submit

• Images: at least 5 photographs. JPG or PNG. No watermarks, borders or frames.
• For each image: title, year, place.
• Your own work: AI-generated or composited images are not accepted. Editing is fine; fabrication is not.
• People: identifiable people must have consented to the photograph. For nudes, every model must be an adult, and a signed release is required.
• Bio: in the third person, under your real name. Tell us where you live and work, what you do besides photography, and one small fact about your life. No lists of exhibitions, prizes or influences, and no self-awarded titles.

We don't ask for social media links or follower counts. The work is the audition.

Photographers at every stage are welcome. Career stage decides nothing.
