Dear readers, dear friends of photography!

Since weeks ago, I have initiated some changes to our magazine. For each of our main articles, an individual layout will be created. We no longer sum up the pictures among each other or next to each other as is usual in magazines and on photo platforms. This way we do justice to each artist with their art individually.

Furthermore, we have a new Blog and three galleries, the “Editor Picks” Gallery , the “Photo of the Month” Gallery and the “Amazing Shots – Stunning Works” Gallery. It always has been important to me, that the photographer will tell her/his story, also with a text written by himself, with alongside her/his pictures.

Newly created is also our Interview section. Here our published photographers tell you how they work as photographers.

TAGREE promotes photographers & artists by publishing their works in the form of contributions with articles and portfolios on the site.

Tagree’s motto is: We are neither elitists nor dogmatists in the world of photography. We are not alien to the world but also do not follow the mainstream path of photography platforms. Our magazine is for all people who like exploring the diversity of visual arts.

A magazine for international photography & art: unknown artists meets well-known ones, pictures that touch meet pictures that evoke different associations, award-winning works meet works waiting for international attention.

One last word to you, if you are reader, photographer or artist and if you like our cultural work support it with a donation. As a nonprofit magazine we only collect donations to cover our costs.

I wish you a pleasant worthwhile journey on TAGREE. There’s a lot to discover apart from the daily overload of pictures we are exposed to.

Kind regards

Michael Nguyen
