democratic
books is a non-profit project by DesignWork
When
we first started in June 2004, we wanted
to publish good photography and give photographers
the possibility to get their work published.
Our aim is to bring the books to the people.
By e-mail we reach around 4500 people in
the world with our newsletter. We are widely
linked in the internet. There are more than
1000 downloads per week.
Over long-term we
want to become a open library for e-photo-books
in the internet as well as a database of
free information and research into contemporary
photography.

Why
we call it democratic ?
In our
opinion democracy is basic human right, and
we support the freedom of free information
for everybody. We don’t care about the
age, colour, nationality or education of our
users and photographers. Books are the best
way to bring Information to the people. We
want to show how photographers see the world.
Photography is the most powerful way to confront
humans with all kinds of reality. As intermediaries,
we connect the people.
How
to Apply
Free
for everybody !
It’s free for
everybody!
Anybody may apply. It doesn’t matter
if you are an amateur, student, or professional
photographer. Do you have something you
want to be published? We are open to any
discussion about photography.
Just send us a CD with 24 - 30 images at
a size of 12 x 12 cm [also inches] with
resolution of 300 dpi and a text file, in
english. If we like the series, we will
edit it and make a democratic book.
The
book will be published at this web page for
down loading as a PDF.

Books
The
photographer always retains the copyright
of his pictures. We just do the edition and
the design of the book.
