BTI #364: Why Shooting Magazine Covers Sucks

Beyond the image Podcast

The topic of today’s show is magazine covers. I shot two new magazine covers this past weekend. And I don’t want to talk about my 600 magazine covers I shot in my career or how great they are (wink). Today, I want to talk about why shooting magazine covers absolutely sucks.

Let’s dive into the anatomy of magazine covers.

“Unless you own the magazine, you’re not in control.”

IN THIS EPISODE

  • What makes a good magazine cover photo?
  • Why shooting a magazine cover kinda sucks.
  • The cover photo you want versus the cover photo that’s chosen.
  • Bad cropping and bad editing.
  • Where you’ll see the best version of your cover photo.
