Show Notes

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."
