PHOTOGRAPHERS

We take great pride in our imagery at The Field Guide. We’re always looking for talented photographers to capture the city’s spirit. Shoots could involve new cafes, restaurants and shops, art exhibitions, events and portraits.

Apply to Editor Sam Kirby at sam@thefieldguidetoowoomba.com and make sure to include:

  • A link to your portfolio, or samples of your work

  • Your Instagram handle

  • Details about the sort of work you’d like to shoot

We’ll send you through our style guide and terms for you to consider.

WRITERS

Please send pitches to sam@thefieldguidetoowoomba.com.

Each pitch should outline:

  • your story idea

  • why you think it will work for TFG’s audience

  • your potential interview subjects

  • and how quickly you could turn it around.

Pitches should be no more than 200 words. Please include a link to your portfolio, or samples of your work.

  • A short letter of introduction

  • Your resume

  • One or two relevant writing samples

  • Two brief news or feature pitches, and an explanation of why they would be a good fit for TFG
