At the end of every month, we open our inbox to photographs from anyone and everyone and run a selection of our favourites — just email photography@i-d.co to be considered with your name, age, location, Instagram handle, and a line or two about the image.
If your image hasn’t made the cut, please don’t be discouraged and do keep sending us your photography. We receive thousands of submissions!
