Dear Readers, It’s already 2 years since our Magazine became a two-monthly publication.

Just like the previous two, the Issue you’re going to read is split into two Volumes, but for the last time.

Starting from the next Issue, we will restrict the number of editorials and publish only one Volume.

Therefore, we will choose among your submissions more carefully, preferring quality rather than quantity. And each Issue will have a specific theme.

Furthermore, we’re going to add some textual contents, publishing articles about Photography, Fashion and Trends.

And, occasionally, we will also publish interviews with Photographers, Models and other people working in the Photography, Arts, Fashion and Beauty industries.

Submissions will be reopened in early April, and the chosen theme for the next Issue will be shared on our Social Networks. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay updated.

Please, remind that you can only submit your pictures through Kavyar. Stay tuned for more!

That’s all. See you in May. Enjoy your reading!
