<< back to BLOG homepage Wanna make it into a magazin???

Everyones dream...? Having my photos published by one of the many magazines...? Yes! Having taken potos now for many years I always thougt of having one of my shots published for real. I knew that there are thousands of photographers out there having the same dream, so I thought to myself: "Nico, dream on...!"

What I did though, was phublishing my photos on picstars and on my own website www.nicolas-risch-photography.fr and even more important, I was outthere, in any conditions trying to take as many photos as possible. I talked to people, I asked questions, I showed respect, I had fun....

One day that phone call came... "Is it ok if we publish your photo?" Whhhaaat? What a question, I was over the moon...

A few weeks later, I went to the nearest newsagency, picked up the mag and yesss, there it was, my name at the bottom of the page!!!!

From then on it has a rollercoaster, I had articles in many mags... Now people come up to me, ask me for advice... I am still having fun, I still go out there, in any condition, I still show respect, I still learn and I still hope for many more shots in many mags!

How they found my photos you may ask? I kept uploading on picstars and on my own site!

By the way, it's Matias Maalem, Quiksilver Rider !!! :)
