FRAME is PhotoWalk Nepal’s digital photography magazine, published once every three months, created as a platform for visual storytelling, and creative expression. The magazine brings together photographers, writers, and visual storytellers to share stories that reflect culture, travel, everyday life, nature, and the human experience.
FRAME is not just about strong images, it is about context, intention, and narrative. Through photographs and words, we aim to document places, moments, and perspectives that deserve to be seen and remembered.
The magazine is published as an e‑magazine, making it easily accessible to readers and contributors from Nepal and beyond.
What FRAME looks for:
FRAME welcomes work that is:
- Story‑driven and thoughtful
- Visually strong and well‑edited
- Honest, respectful, and ethical
- Rooted in observation rather than spectacle
We value personal projects, long‑term stories, and quiet moments just as much as dramatic visuals.

Frames of the month
Frames of the Month is a recurring monthly photo contest by FRAMES, created to recognize and celebrate outstanding photography within our community. Each month, photographers are invited to submit their best work, from which three selected photographs will be featured in the FRAME e-magazine and on the PhotoWalk Nepal website. At the end of the year, the best photograph from all monthly selections will be awarded the Photo of the Year, along with attractive prizes. This initiative aims to encourage consistency, creativity, and storytelling throughout the year.
