Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
just out of curiosity how do you go about becoming a successful photographer for a top magazine? such as, Sports illustrated or vogue or GQ?
 
Get to be the best at what you do, and get lucky....
 
1) Build up a really solid portfolio shooting fashion/glamour in the studio and on location.
2) Move to New York, LA, London, or Paris.
3) Find a photographer in the industry to show your amazing book to, and work as an assistant for a couple years. Make connections, don't steal them.
4) Rent or purchase a studio.
5) Try to get work testing for agencies.
6) Build yourself a name
7) Talk to the magazines.
 
Max you always make me feel better about spending 6 years at uni for an engineering degree :D
