Artdoc MagazineWe invite photographers worldwide to submit their work for "Life Today"—an online photo exhibition and magazine publication dedicated to capturing the many facets of life as we know it. Whether your lens reveals the elegance of natural landscapes, the profound depth of human connection, the subtle rhythm of daily life, or beauty in abstract form, we are eager to see your perspective.
We welcome a broad spectrum of photographic styles and genres, from documentary to fine art, portrait to landscape, abstract to experimental. This open call seeks to celebrate the varied, dynamic, and original ways photographers interpret "Life Today." We aim to uncover what life looks like, feels like, and signifies in our current moment—through your lens.
Selected works will be featured in our online exhibition and showcased in our upcoming magazine publication, reaching an international audience. Whether your work captures grand scenes or intimate moments, we invite you to share your unique vision as life unfolds. Together, let’s celebrate the beauty, complexity, and diversity of our world.
