Publishing A Photography Magazine With No Experience - Charlotte Rose Beers of Her Exposure
Today I’m bringing you an in person interview with a mother, publisher, curator and film shooter, and a personal friend of mine Charlotte Rose Beers who is based about 15 mins away from me here on the gold coast.
When Charlotte was in Japan earlier this year she decided to start an instagram page celebrating the work of female film photographers and she wasted no time accelerating that goal to a printed magazine that is now in its third issue and almost sold out.
Her Exposure
Sign up to the Her Exposure email list here and follow on instagram to stay up to date on the latest submissions and open calls.
A hard working woman showing us all that an idea is only an idea and we must act promptly and with passion if we want to create community and see our idea come to life.
I’m so proud of Charlotte's efforts and I hope this chat inspires you to kick off the new year in a meaningful way.
We chat about the why behind the zine, the logistics of creating it, what it takes to curate, how to build a community online using social media but without selling your soul to the algo and how parenthood is the biggest motivator for change in this world.
If you are in Melbourne grab a ticket to the launch event for issue three being held at Loop and snag a spot for Charlotte’s workshop on curating a zine and meet her in person!
Enjoy the chat and as always drop in myself or Charlotte's DM’s or emails and let us know what you thought!
