Featured+Photo+Call+031519.jpg

Open internationally to both amateurs and professionals, this call for entries is Analog Forever Magazine’s attempt to find, feature, and interview the best talent in the analog photography world for our second print publication, due out Summer 2020!

We are searching for the trailblazers who shoot decades old expired film through refurbished cameras, capture images with processes invented a century ago, and invent new and creative ways to process and manipulate our mainstream film stock staples. We want to see the work created by the individuals who share our love for the sound of shutters clapping open and close and the smell of darkroom chemicals in the morning.

Regardless of your format of choice, how expensive your lens set is, or the subject matter you shoot, we want to see your work submitted! There is no entry fee so there is no reason why you shouldn’t submit! The only thing we ask if that you please follow the directions below!

Deadline for Submissions is February 23rd, 2020!


Issue 2 Details


Analog Forever Magazine was launched on the belief that photographs, especially yours, should be seen in print as well as on screen. We are proud to say that our second print edition will be a creative mix between a journal, magazine, and coffee-table book and will contain a wide variety of photographers and styles from around the world. The publication will be printed by Edition One Books in Berkeley, California and will be 8x10 in size, about 130 pages, and will be printed on 176gsm paper which will be perfect bound with a soft touch matte laminate cover to protect its beautiful pages. This publication will embark readers on a photographic journey around the world and show them vast landscapes of mountains and oceans across multiple countries, the desolation of abandoned cities and towns, the intimate spaces of private photographic studios, and the lives and stories of the individuals and people in our cities and foreign lands. The below timeline describes our process of putting an analog photography focused print publication into your hands!

Michael Behlen
Michael Behlen is a photography enthusiast from Fresno, CA. He works in finance and spends his free time shooting instant film and seeing live music, usually a combination of the two. He has self- published two Polaroid photobooks--“Searching for Stillness, Vol. 1” and “I Was a Pioneer,” literally a boxed set of his instant film work. He exhibited a variety of his photos at Raizana Teas, a Fresno tea room and health food store; his work there, “Polaroid Prints of Landscapes and Strangers,” was up for viewing during the months of June and July, 2014. He has been published, been interviewed, and been reviewed in a quantity of magazines, from” F-Stop” and “ToneLit” to “The Film Shooter’s Collective.” He loves the magic sensuality of instant film: its saturated, surreal colors; the unpredictability of the medium; it’s addictive qualities as you watch it develop. Behlen is the founder and Publisher of “Pryme Magazine.” You can see his work here: www.dontshakeitlikeapolaroid.com
