Title: Magazine Front Cover
Post by: Phillip Minnis on May 01, 2010, 03:57
Pardon me for bragging, but I'm pretty happy! :)

A regional wedding magazine, here in Australia, has used one of my photos for the front cover.

The editor also used a few of my photos on the inside front cover as well, however, I'm not all that happy with the quality of their reproduction. You can see them by clicking the arrow on the right-hand side of the front cover image.

Thanks for the congrats!

Congrats. Where did you sell it?

I hope you got more than 25 cents at Shutterstock for this one. Would be a shame if you spent all the money on the magazines...

Actually, I didn't get any money for it. :(  

One of my mates owns http://www.southernhighlandwines.com/ (http://www.southernhighlandwines.com/).....the largest winery/cellar door on the Southern Highlands, in NSW, Australia.  He asked me to take some shots of their functions manager on her wedding day, and they bought the inside cover of the magazine to advertise their winery, which is very popular for weddings.  Apparently the manager of the magazine offered them the front cover, as part of the deal, so they submitted some of my photos of her wedding, and the editor chose this one.  I guess my mate is just lucky that I'm a photographer! :)  

Don't worry, I can have as much free wine as I want, and I'm quite often out there for lunch! :)

Oh, and if I'd sold it at Shutterstock, I would have made 11 cents more than that......36cents! :)
