Is there something you always wanted to ask about Gloom Magazine but didn't know who to ask? Well ask here! Hopefully someone here can help you
I just decided to make this thread in case people had questions they wanted to ask about being a photographer, writer or model that other photographers, writers or models for the site might be able to answer.

So, I could a nice PM from Dolly who wanted to know how to be a Gloom Model and get on the site.
It's simple.
#1Become a Gloom Member.
#2Find a photographer! (Don't know where to find one? More LATER) #3Come up with a theme/shoot idea. Remember Gloom doesn't allow nudity but IMPLIED is all good in the hood
#4 do the set (no duh) and pick out the best 10-20 pictures. You don't need to ask if you can model for Gloom..JUST DO IT. like Nike says.
#5 Have you or your photographer email the unedited pictures to info@gloommagazine.com for review
#6 Once your set is approved, Gloom will send the Gloom Nation template so you can paste your images into the Photoshop template.
#7 Edit the photos and add the Gloom Nation template on it...Send it in..and wait for the magic to happen.
How to find photographers:
Gloommagazine.com
From my experience, I have find a lot through Gloom. There are Gloom threads where you can find a photographer. Or browse profiles..make friends! Ask around! Ask other models from your area if they know anyone that you could shoot with!
Some photographers can be found here:
