FIGJAM Magazine Vol.10

Welcome to FIGJAM MAGAZINE VOL.10 Welcome to another FIGJAM MAGAZINE. This time its Vol.10. It is the issue which signals the end of a difficult 2020. Many would be delighted to see the end of this year. It has been challenging for most of us to say the least. However, here at the FIGJAM HQ we have luckily enough been able to keep a steady flow of excellent submissions from around the World. When we started we relied quite a bit on the submission website, kavyar. However, as time has gone by, we have actually made enough of a name for ourselves, so now we only have one kavyar submission in the magazine. The rest is submissions though personal contacts or though our website.

While its time for everyone to enjoy the festive period, hopefully with family, we at FIGJAM want to wish everyone happy holidays, be it in lockdown, in any tier systems, with or without friends and family, and together we hope for a better 2021.

This time we have an excellent 142 pages for you to enjoy. There is some amazing content, we dare say that FIGJAM gets better with every single issue! The cover story this time is shot by the excellent photographer, Ingo Conrad from Germany. We also have submissions from Marc Evans, Bogdan Merlusca, Mikhael Nakhimovic and many others.

We also need to thank our faithfull advertisers. We are proud of our working relationship with Skin Sisters, with Mapa Model Management, with Tina Welsh crochet, with Anika Chauhan make up ... thank you everyone for your continued support, it means the world to us.

Some of the editorials are very colourful, like the ‘Cowboy’ editorial, shot by Santiago Gonzalz-Jaragui, and the LA Woman series with is shot by the extremely talented photographer, Mun. LA Woman also re-unites us with our favourite FIGJAM model, and twice cover girl already, Natalia Pichuhina. Vol.10 is released just before the holiday season, so it will be a good chance for the readers to have a good look at all the marvellous inspiration there is to be found on the 142 pages. FIGJAM is as usual available as print on demand, and we are delighted to have changed our printing platform. We are now using the Dutch company, Peecho Print, where the whole back catalogue of FIGJAM Magazines is available to buy as printed copies. Perhaps an idea for Christmas gifts for any fashion lover? or any photographer? or model? We are fully aware that ‘Print on Demand’ is very expensive, unfortunately we dont make any profit on it, it is simply the cost of making such few numbers of magazines, and while we would like to be on the shelf as the stores, it is an unrealistic idea in this day and age. Unfortunately as advertising is getting harder and harder to come by, and more and more magazines are folding, even well known titles. Luckily we dont need advertisers as much as we are ‘Print on Demand’.

We also want to thank every single one of our contributors, the make up artists, the models, the art directors, the retouchers, and everybody else who is making FIGJAM possible. We are litterally just the people getting to select what we like the most, and what a privilege that is!

So while everyone is getting ready for the festive season, its time for us to wind down. This will be the year without any big lavish seasonal parties, but we will be back with a bang again next year. We know now that it will be better, it is just a matter of time, and we can go back to life as we know it, and start doing what we enjoy doing without restrictions put upon us. Last but not least, we want to say a special thanks to our loyal readers. We can see our monthly readers are improving all the time, and for that we thank you all. Until next time, all the best.

~ The Editor

2020 has been a year full of surprises, mostly dominated by Covid-19, which initially made it harder for everybody to get to shoot the excellent editorials we normally receive. However, we still managed to put together nothing less than 6 great magazines. We tried to choose our favourite editorials of 2020, but its just impossible, we have had so many which are truly exceptional. Maybe one day we will make a ‘BEST OF FIGJAM’, however, as intriguing as the idea might be, it is still far away. Anyhow .... what to expect of 2021. Here at FIGJAM we are aiming to make more great magazines, hopefully even better magazines. We need everyone back shooting and capturing more gorgeous images to showcase in our magazine. We are hugely excited about our two year anniversary which is coming up in May 2021, and we expect the two year anniversary issue to be special. We are aiming at more growth on social media, although all the various algorhytms are making it very difficult these days. We will still not go down the route of buying fake followers to make ourselves look good. What else is in store ...... well, we are planning something quite exciting .... FIGJAM are working on a trip to the British Virgin Islands to shoot an editorial or two in the summer. British Virgin Islands is one of the most wonderful and most beautiful places on earth, and should provide great settings for beach and yacht shoots, maybe even sneak into a resort to do a shoot. Anyhow, that is still in the planning stages, and nothing in certain this far, but the idea is already getting us rather excited already.

n our way to SANTA FE

â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment. When 2 musicians head to Santa Fe to perform, they discover that magic. Just throw away the sheet music and dance and sing because, at that moment, all is right with the world.â&#x20AC;?
