Edition Zero

EDITORIAL

Richard N Tucker ARPS

This is Edition Zero of the Swiss Chapter magazine "6x6" featuring the work of six members of the Chapter, through six photographs. The concept is arbitrary, but by having a standard conceptual format, should allow members to present a full range of work. The magazine will be digital and free to RPS members. This edition is for Swiss Chapter members only, but from Edition 1 it will be public within the RPS web.

Because the Swiss Chapter has few members, there should be opportunities for those wishing to participate to show their work more than once a year. Four issues per year are proposed: March 5, June 5, September 5, and December 5. The deadline for submission is one full month before the publication date. If there are more than 6 submissions the editors will make a choice to create a balanced issue and hold folios over for the next edition. Offerings for Edition 1 should arrive with tucker42@bluewin.ch before the end of January 2021. Up to 10 images may be submitted but only six will be used.

No conditions have been set, other than those set by the laws of libel and decency. The intention is that members can choose work to show what they are doing, to raise questions about concepts or techniques, to invite responses from other members, to suggest topics for future group cooperation. Though the idea is to limit this publication to short statements by the photographers and six images, the door is open for an adjoining mechanism for comment and debate, with a link between the two.

This first edition contains 6 portfolios from four photographers, simply to get the numbers in for this trial.

The hope is that you will recognise sufficient quality here to want to submit your own pictures.
