Cool article.
The F STOP » Professional Photographers Discuss Their Craft » Article Archive » Brains Behind the Beauty:
"When I commission a magazine everything has to flow. I plan that thing from beginning to end and it needs pace and energy. For me that’s the attraction, taking the reader on a visual journey, creating an environment that is consistent, yet unexpected too. Every picture is important, every commission. I remember Terry Jones saying “Even if it is the smallest image in the book, it doesn’t mean it can’t be the best”. Kind of true when you consider all those guys who came through i-D that way.
Another to consider is being aware of what your favored photographers are up to, where they are in the world, what excites them. I always think it’s best to talk with photographers to see what pushes their buttons, then commission with that in mind. You’re likely to get better pictures."
