About/Terms

Following the success of the literary website Simerg and strong reader interest worldwide in photo pieces, we recognized the need for a dedicated platform to showcase photographs on a separate blog. As a result, Simergphotos was launched in the last quarter of 2012, starting with the republication of selected photo essays that were originally published on Simerg. Since then, many new pieces have debuted here for the first time, with occasional simultaneous publications on Simerg.
