First-time Portfolio Submission - Digital Only

Every artist we represent is signed to an image exclusive worldwide contract. We do not represent artists on a regional basis; it's all or nothing. If you can compete with the world's best talent, we would like to see your work in accordance with our guidelines outlined below:

Digital Only

Do not send transparencies or prints as a first-time submission. We also prefer not receiving discs.

In order to view new work as efficiently as possible, we can only handle images submitted digitally, as follows:

Submission methods

You can show us a sample in three ways:

  1. Internet: If you have a website, or are listed in a web-based visual directory, please send us your URL.
  2. E-Mail attachments: You may e-mail us 20 - 30 of your best images following these guidelines:
    • Images must be in RGB JPEG format
    • The overall file size of your email cannot exceed 4MB. (Messages exceeding this size will be rejected by our mail server).
  3. Web Photo Gallery: You may e-mail us a Photoshop web gallery package following these guidelines:
    • All elements (jpegs and html documents) should be included in the package folder
    • The package does not exceed 4 MB

For more information on submitting images via e-mail please contact us at: portfolio@masterfile.com

Personal Meetings and Follow Up

Unfortunately, we do not accommodate personal meetings with artists until we have decided we want to represent them. We devote maximum time and energy working for the artists we already represent, which is exactly what you can expect from us if we become your agent.

If we like what we see, you will be contacted by our Artist Recruitment Manager to submit additional work, and high resolution files for a technical review.

Please note, we require images to be taken with a minimum 12 megapixel camera.

More details will be available to those artists who are contacted.

Due to the large volume of submissions, we will contact only those artists we are interested in.

We look forward to seeing your work!
