Shutter Hub Close Up

Closes: 31/12/2030 11:59 pm

Photograhers, we’re inviting you to share the stories behind your work in a Close Up – an online feature that gives you a dedicated space to showcase a key project and reflect on it in your own words. It’s a place for thoughtful storytelling, visual insight, and professional visibility. Whether you’re emerging, established, or somewhere in between, if you’re working on something meaningful – we want to see it.

Take us behind the scenes of a project that defines your work, or something new you’re working on – and promote your practice to an audience of engaged photographers, industry professionals and photography lovers. A Close Up isn’t just about the beautiful images you have to share, it’s also about the context, process, and purpose. We want to hear about the thinking behind your work, the journey that brought it to life, and the impact you hope it makes.

To submit your work, please complete the submission form under ‘Apply’.

Images

Maximum file size: 516MB

Please describe your image - we will add this as Alt text so it is accessible to more people, including those who are blind or visually impaired. This should be a description of what is shown in the image for those who are unable to see it, rather than an explanation of process or context, e.g. 'Photograph of a red car parked in the middle of a field of grass, with a pigeon flying in the blue sky overhead'.
