Behind the scenes

The First Issue of the Green Tea Gallery Magazine

The Green Tea Gallery magazine is a project that wants to promote and publish some of the greatest photographers that have joined the gallery since its opening. This project is entirely no-profit. The magazine will be available in two different formats:
-a free lo-res PDF will be downloadable from this website;
- a printed copy will be distributed through Blurb.com at printing+shipping costs.

The latest news from Blurb.com is that they now finally print also from Switzerland and they ship from there to any European and Asian location. Check out their website for more information about shipping and pricing.

After a few early different designs that were all based upon a square format, I decided to change the magazine format to a more standard 8″×10″ format. The number of pages should end up to be around 100-120 pages and it will be published in a soft-cover version.

After I started editing the inside of the magazine in the new format I realized that the old cover would have been strongly compromised by the new format. Here you can see the new cover, which is a dreamy portrait made by the incredible Japanese photographer Shinji Watanabe.

We are going to feature some very talented artists. Among them:
