what's important is you show them your pinaka best work and if things dont't happenyet for you ..try building up your portfolio more ....

dont pala also hataw all the publishing houses ,,try one first and find out what some editors think of your work.

it may be a turn off to a lot of photographers bec. they think the pay is low...but remember, the most fun work is with the magazines, plus the creative freedom, lots of beautiful people....respect in the industry....etc...

Absolutely right, Pat. Sayang I didn't get to work with you when I was with Top Gear. But I did marry Cecile, formerly with Seventeen. You might remember her.

Some photographers have leveraged their magazine portfolios into successful advertising work. That where the good money is.

@Pat and Winston,

Thanks for all your advises and tips! This is probably one of the best tips here.

You're very welcome, Ian and Melvin. Note also that Editors are usually VERY busy, so please excuse them if they are curt and short-tempered. They're usually thinking of their upcoming deadline; they get their balls cut off if they're delayed. And woe to you, if you're the cause of the delay!

@ Mr. Baltasar - thanks for the advise!

hehe. I'm getting a kick from Ces calling me "Mr. Baltasar" from way back in 2007. This must have been one of my first DPP posts.

So this is not OT, used to be Editors would only accept printed portfolios. Back in the 2005, when I was still with Summit, the publishers prefered film for the photos. In my last shoot for Top Gear, I was sent to Sepang, Malaysia to cover Formula 1. I had 100 rolls of film in my backpack.

What a difference 3 years makes. I've been asked to send in my portfolio for a magazine, but this time, my photos on a CD will do. Technology moves onward.
