The offbeat anthology

The 2nd OFFBEAT ANTHOLOGY photo book

Join us in celebrating the incredible talent within the OFFBEAT PHOTO community.

We’re continually inspired by the powerful imagery and creative vision our members bring to life, often shaped by the experiences, skills, and inspiration drawn from our workshops and exceptional instructors. To honor this artistry, we’re curating our second photo book anthology that lets the work speak for itself. This collection will highlight the diverse perspectives and compelling stories captured by OFFBEAT photographers around the world.

We can’t wait to showcase your unique vision in a book that will inspire, captivate, and celebrate the extraordinary creativity of our community.

The design

We are excited to create a stunning 8x10" hard-cover book featuring 100 pages of exquisite photographic art.

Each image will be showcased on its own dedicated page, complete with the artist's name and the image title.

A new addition this year will be a feature that includes the winner of our community creative challenge with this year’s theme ‘The Year of Storytelling’.

We welcome submissions from all genres and themes, with the only requirement being that the photos were taken in 2025.

 

The LEGACY

In 2024, our photography community lost a cherished friend, mentor, and talented photographer in Natalie Gillis. Natalie's impact, both through her stunning photography and her friendship, will continue to resonate within our community.

To honor her memory and preserve her legacy, we are dedicating this Anthology to her. For each entry submitted, $15 will be contributed to the Natalie Gillis Scholarship Fund, which will be given to an OFFBEAT member who embodies creativity and a spirit of adventure—qualities that Natalie championed throughout her life.
