Photographers are forever wondering exactly what it is that photo editors and creatives are after so that they can pitch themselves accordingly. And yet that information seems to be so elusive. Which is why I’m posting a link to a Q&A with Wendy Hinton, photography director at InStyle, that appears at the website for British magazine Professional Photographer.
