Getting Past the Photo Editor’s Door
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under career, freelance
A trip up to NYC to shop my book around(once I get it together) is on my extended to-do list.
I found this older article on The Digital Journalist on getting your foot in the door with photo editors to be informative. A lot of it is probably common sense for you.
The article starts by having you ask yourself five questions:
- Why do I want to be a photographer?
- What kind of photography do I want to do?
- Which photographers do I admire the most and why?
- What client do I want to work with?
Read the rest of the article on The Digital Journalist here.

That would be awesome Peter. I’m a ways from having my book done yet. Actually need to get my images together and edited before I do anything, but when the time comes I’m game for it.
Any idea when you were planning a visit? I’m guessing Xmas break is probably your best time?
