Commitment to Artists:
Diverse Photography: The Magazine features a wide range of photographic styles and techniques without bias or judgment.
Inclusive Representation: Artists from all nationalities and beliefs are represented equally, with their countries of origin noted as per their preference and in accordance with current world geographical standards.
Inclusivity: Material is selected based on artistic merit, disregarding factors such as nationality, race, disabilities, gender, sexual orientation, political affiliation, religious belief, financial status, or any other personal attributes.
Rights and Ownership: Copyright, ownership, and intellectual rights are clearly stated in all instances.
Artist Authenticity: The Magazine strives to present artists authentically, reflecting their unique voices and visions.
Careful Editing: Editing is done sensitively to preserve the originality of artists' statements.
Equal Opportunities: All artists are given equal opportunities in their presentation within the Magazine.
Handling Sensitive Content:
Nudity and Violence: Photos depicting nudity or violence are accepted only if they hold significant aesthetic or conceptual value within the context of the artist's work. The approach to gender in terms of nudity is unbiased.
Child Nudity: Explicit child nudity is subject to strict scrutiny and may not be accepted.
Propaganda: Content containing political, ideological, or religious propaganda is carefully considered and may be rejected. Radical discourse material is strictly prohibited.
Impartiality: The Magazine maintains a neutral stance on political, geopolitical, and social issues. Published content reflects the artists' viewpoints, not the Magazine's, and does not imply endorsement.
Freedom of Speech: Artists' freedom of expression is respected, and censorship is avoided. However, material that violates the Magazine's policy may be declined.
Additional Statements:
Artist Collaboration: Layouts, edited interviews, and page allocations can be discussed with artists, but the final decision on publication rests with the FotoNostrum Magazine team.
