Your photos on TUNINGHUNTERS.COM!?
Your photos on TUNINGHUNTERS.COM – your photos. Your style. But only if it fits.
This opportunity is about showing authentic impressions from areas we can’t always cover ourselves – whether somewhere in Germany or beyond. But let’s make one thing clear up front: We’re not looking for quantity – we’re looking for quality.
We get photos and videos sent to us regularly – but let’s be real: not everything meets the standard we want to show on TuningHunters.com.
So if you think your photos or videos have the level for TuningHunters, keep reading.
If not, save yourself – and us – the time.

What we’re looking for:
- A unique photographic style
- Clean and fast post-processing
- Reliable people who get things done – no snails on helium
- Professional gear with real range – no toys, no gimmicks
Smartphones, entry-level DSLRs and MFT cams with no depth or dynamic range? Nope.
We’re not talking about vacation shots with cranked contrast. We mean real photography – with intention, depth and quality that doesn’t fall apart at ISO 800.
Full frame isn’t mandatory – but if you know what you’re doing, that’s the level you’re operating at.
And yes, we’ll see it in your shots – or we won’t.

One more thing – and it’s important:
This is not about free entry.
Of course you can say that your photos have been published or may be published on TuningHunters.com. That’s completely fine.
But that does not turn into a pass, a free ticket or an argument to get into events for free.
Anyone who sends material to TuningHunters does it out of passion, quality and real interest in the scene – not to save a few bucks on tickets.
The OWL region (Ostwestfalen-Lippe) is excluded from this call.
We’re from that area ourselves – and we already have our own contacts, structures and ways of doing things there.
This call is clearly aimed at photographers and videographers outside our home region.
Photography is the foundation – video is the bonus.
Photos are still our main focus. But if you can also deliver on the video side – show us what you’ve got.
What we’re NOT looking for:
- Shaky messes
- Overdone transitions
- Cut storms every second
- TikTok edits with nervous algorithm energy
If your video feels more like algorithm asthma than event coverage, it’s not for us.
We’re after calm, clean and well-edited event footage with presence – not self-promotion with a camera in your hand.
What we offer – if your material fits TuningHunters:
- Reach on a platform that values substance – no clickbait circus
- Respectful communication – no drama, no ego trips and no pointless theatre
- Creative freedom in post – as long as you don’t turn cars into soap bubbles with wild filters
- Publication within the TuningHunters visual identity – with the TuningHunters logo, TuningHunters copyright notice and your name as visible credit underneath
Important: Your photos do not become the property of TuningHunters.
You only give TuningHunters permission to publish selected material on our pages and channels, present it in a unified visual style and show it within the TuningHunters context.
In short: If you deliver what’s needed, your material gets visibility and a place to be seen.
No micromanaging. No endless talk. Just trust – if the material really fits.
Here’s how it works:
Material submissions only via email.
Not through Instagram, not by DM and definitely not via smoke signals.
If you can’t manage to write a clean email, you’re in the wrong place.
Send us:
- Five (5) of your best photos in landscape format, 2560 px wide
- A short text about you – really short. No novels, no drama, no pathos.
Important:
No ZIPs, no WeTransfer links, no Dropbox folders, no RAWs – and absolutely nothing without prior agreement.
A clean, simple email is all it takes.
And just so we’re clear:
We’re not going to get into long discussions about whether material fits TuningHunters or not.
Everyone sees their own images differently. That’s normal. But in the end, we decide based on our standard, our visual language and what works on TuningHunters.com.
If you don’t get a reply, it means: for us, it wasn’t enough. Period.
One last thing:
Don’t ask us to follow you.
Don’t ask us how to become a better photographer.
Read the FAQ.
And above all: respect the standard.
The only question is:
Do you have a visual language people can’t scroll past?
You’ve made it this far and don’t feel called out?
Good. Stay a spectator.
But if you think your material has the level for TuningHunters – send us your stuff.
Just make sure you’re serious.
