Tips and Advice
Meet your photographer in person, and ask to see their credentials, find out the awards they have won or any photography assignments they have covered. Magazine editors are very picky about who they hire to shoot the magazine covers or fashion editorial spreads. This is almost like having a magazine art director helping you on your photographers interviews.
