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. Cut lines; have I seen that one before? Safe but not boring. Why cover photoshoots are also amazing and life changing.
