Responsibility towards real photography
![Photography](https://i.imgur.com/CHjAYJz.jpg)
Our journey towards photography magazine moved to an era where we are highly concerned with what makes a photo makes standout among 1.2 trillion photos captured each year.
We WallMag have a responsibility to bring up the best talent among the country and around the globe in real photography through online contest and awards what we called them as Missions.
When we say “real photography” we mean the new movement brewing in contemporary photography that captures authentic, rich moments from locals around the world at a moment’s notice.
“It’s a hard question of how we can identify the one photo which really makes it to the top”
And the answer is simple:
“Power to the people, creators and achievers”
