+ COLLABORATE! PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT is established to gather photographers and digital artists around the world to create photographical projects. + HOW IT WORKS
One person acts as the Photographer and the other as the Art Director/Digital Artist. They email each other about the shoot they would like to do and exchange ideas. The photographer then goes out and shoots the collaborative idea and sends the photos to the Art Director/Digital Artist. The Art Director puts the final touches on the photo digitally to create the mood/style and convey the desired message of their collaborative project. Once the project is finalized they send their best 3 photos to this e-mail adress with their information and they will be exhibited on this page for everyone to see.
