Dear Reader,

Yesterday we heard from art director Alicia Noack about which of our reader’s pictures she liked best for illustrating a travel article and/or trade journal.

Alicia has worked with all kinds of glossy magazines from in-flight magazines found in the seat-back pockets of airlines to food and culture trade publications and journals. If you missed her favorite reader photos, here's a recording of my call with her.

Today, I asked editorial photographer Pat Stevens how things work from the other side -- how he picks photographs to send to an editor or art director when he has so many to choose from. Pat says he typically shoots anywhere from 30-100 photos to illustrate just one travel article. From those, he submits for publication three times the number of photos the editor needs (in other words, if the editor says she wants 4 photos, he sends her 12 to choose from).

Here's whay Pat had to say:

P.S. Editorial photography (photos in magazines and newspapers) is only one way to make money from your travel photographs. This April at the Ultimate Money-Making Photo Workshop in Nashville, TN, I’m going to ask every attendee to submit three photos along with the answers to a few questions about the kind of photos they like to take and where they think they’d like to sell them.

Then we’re going to customize the schedule to each attendee. You send me three photos. And our experts will look at them and tell you exactly what your strengths and weaknesses are and where they think you’re going to find the most success -- whether in editorial photography, fine art, stock, or other markets.

We’ll have professional photographers and photo buyers from each photo market on-hand -- including stock, magazine, fine art, portrait and sports photography, and more. You’ll get to pick their brains on what works, what doesn’t, what sells today -- right now, and how, exactly to get up and running. Even if you have no previous photography experience.

Click here to find out more about the workshop -- and get in on the Early Bird Discount.
