10 Ways to Upset a Photo Editor

From New York to Dubai, photo editors from a wide variety of publications are networking in order to discover which photographers are professional and trustworthy and which photographers should be avoided. Whether you are a seasoned photographer or just breaking into the field of stock photography, it is vital to the success of your career to give a positive impression. Red & Gold Photography is your one stop shop for all the resources you need for success as a freelance photographer. Here is our list of ten ways to upset a photo editor:

1. Avoid doing your own research by sending photos that are irrelevant or asking an editor to contact other editors for you.

2. Be rude and pushy to gain an assignment. This will ensure that you are not hired again.

3. Show the editor a lack of professional courtesy by changing which photos you plan to take at the last minute.

4. Be difficult to reach by making your contact information hard to find. It wastes the editor's time by forcing them to hunt for it.

5. Be unprofessional by sending the editor jokes, personal photos or using a casual, unprofessional tone in emails.

6. Call too often or keep them on the phone too long to ensure that you annoy even the most patient editor.

7. Send the same impersonal letter to each editor. This will successfully create the impression that you have no respect for the editor as a person.

8. Complain when things to wrong on a shoot or about how your photos were used in a story so that editors will be discouraged from using your services again.

9. Photographers who miss deadlines create scheduling problems for editors. The most sought after photographers are those who do not request deadline extensions and never bow out at the last minute.

10. From stock photography to workshops and study opportunities, Red & Gold Photography offers a wealth of resources to both freelance photographers and clients.
