What's new this August Round?

This edition introduces a brand-new section: The Editorial Landscape (Part VII), where I share insider insights on publication politics, understanding publication tiers, and strategic publishing case studies. Plus, I’m including an exclusive, in-depth case study on how I landed and executed an editorial for WWD — a major milestone in my career and a blueprint for photographers aiming for top-tier publications.
