Photo Submissions for a BuzzFeed Post

[MerClaire]

Hi all,

My name is Claire de Louraille and I am a writer for BuzzFeed.com. My favorite beats are basically anything about mermaids and underwater content.

I wrote the pieces about what Ariel would look like if she evolved in various ocean environments (http://www.buzzfeed.com/clairedelouraille/ariel-reimagined#.sd0mzLGwJw), what Ursula would actually look like if she were based off of real octopuses (http://www.buzzfeed.com/clairedelouraille/ursula-reimagined#.wo0EPDbZNZ), and this post about Mermen (http://www.buzzfeed.com/clairedelouraille/mermen-will-make-you-wet-all-over#.ay8QmRDxvx).

I am currently working on a post about Mermaid Squad Goals, aka: Podgoals, and I need your photos!

If you have a photo of 3 or more people and are okay with it being on BuzzFeed.com or any of it's distribution platforms, please reach out to me! (You/your photographer will be credited for the photo)

Here are some rules to the photo submissions:
1) I cannot guarantee that I'll use your photo, but I will check in with you if I would like to use your photo.
2) The photo must have at least 3 people in it.
3) None of those people can be children.
4) Please be wearing your beautiful tails! (Or lovely merperson accessories!)
5) You must own the photograph and be able to grant us (BuzzFeed) permission. Or, if it is a professional photo I need the photographers name so I can reach out to them and ask for permission to use their photo.

If you think you have a photo that fits these guidelines please reply to me here, send me an email at claire.delouraille@buzzfeed.com (claire.delouraille@buzzfeed.com), or hit me up on social media @cdelouraille. (You can also reach out to me if you have any questions/concerns, or questions about previous posts of mine)

Thank you, and I can't wait to see all your beautiful photos!
Claire

Hi Claire, you're more than welcome to use some of mine. I am https://www.facebook.com/RainaMermaid/ and I run the award winning company https://www.facebook.com/Halifax-Mermaids-644749652223161/
I know you said no kids but I have written releases for all of my images, including kids on file which I could forward you. And each image link gives full list of credits. I may have gotten carried away but I love the theme

I put in group shots of mermaids, I know you want 3 or more but there's a few I thought with 2 that show what it's like so I added just in case cuz they seemed like the fit the theme. ;) But obviously, it's up to you!

Here are some group shots I thought you might enjoy along with their credits:

[SeaGlass Siren]

Can there be a mer couple life goals? Can there be a post about MODs (mers off duty)? Can there be a post about merverts?

[Nyx]

Here's a couple I could dig up.

All of these photos were taken by my husband and used with his permission.

[Mermaid Kassandra]

Hi Clare!

Thank you very much indeed for this opportunity!

I'll send you some pictures attached to an email if you want!

Anyway for the moment of you would like to have a look to my pictures I'm mermaid Kassandra from Italy and I work with merman Alexander (we are both from Italy) and you'll find out pictures at www.Facebook.com/mermaidKassandra

I know you said no kids but I have all the permissions so if you want to use our pictures there's no problem and I can also send to you all the permissions.

Let me know what do you think!

[Merman Arion]

Hi Claire

My name is Arion. I'm a French merman.

Here is my facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/Merman.Arion
and my Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/merman_arion

Unfortunately, I don't have photos with three mers all together because I live in Paris (France) and we are a few merpeople there so meetups are difficult to plan but I have at lease these pictures that I think will be great for your article.

The mermaid with me is named Claire la sirène.
Here is her facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/Claire.la.Sirene
And this is her instagram : https://www.instagram.com/claire_mermaid_sirene (https://www.instagram.com/claire_mermaid_sirene/)

Thank you for posting these Alicia, they are BEAUTIFUL!

I've reached out to you via email, talk to you soon!

[MerClaire]

Hey all! I'm going to close the submissions for this post now, but I'll definitely post again when I need more mermaid photos! <3

Thank you all so much for being such wonderful beings.

Have a lovely Thanksgiving!!

Love,
Claire

[MerClaire]

Hey all! This is finally up: http://www.buzzfeed.com/clairedelouraille/podgoals#.rsOjwm4nxn and please feel free to share it on Twitter and Facebook!

A HUGE thank you to all who submitted pictures and answered all my questions!!! <3 <3 <3

If you notice any of the links aren't working please let me know, (last I checked they were all working) and I want to give every mermaid and merman the credit they deserve! (If you're featured in this post and you would rather have me link to a different social media page than the one I chose, just let me know and I'll change it for you)

If you don't see your picture please feel free to send me an email at claire.delouraille@buzzfeed.com or to send me a message here on the MerNetwork. (I promise it wasn't done out of malice or anything. It probably didn't meet the requirements or the professional photographer wouldn't let me use it which is 100% totally fine!)

I hope to work with you all again soon!

Have a lovely holiday,
Claire

[Mermaid Lorelei]

All of the links appear to be working for me.

Thank you so much for inviting the community to work with you on this! It turned out very well!

[Elodea the Mermaid]

So fun! Thank you so much for including the Sacramento Mermaids. We'd love to work with you again, so don't hesitate to reach out!
