In case you have never seen this magazine on the stands, I suggest you look again and check if you local newsagent is carrying it.
The concept of this magazine is to showcases the very best in commercial photography internationally and is a valuable reference tool for photographic and film production destinations worldwide.
Select is sent (for free) to creative decision makers at advertising agencies, graphic design companies, department and retail stores, fashion houses, in-house advertising departments, magazine and book publishers, and many others. You can also buy it or subscribe to it on their website. There are only 2 issues per year, spring and fall.
Select recently added a very nicely done online version of their paper issue. Check it out HERE.
I have to say I love the paper version because it is the way photographs are supposed to be seen! The format of the magazine is also larger than usual, which makes for superb full page pictures! The quality of the print is exceptional!
That being said, their website is an excellent resource, giving you the ability to look for all types of photography-related professions (not only photographers). If you’re looking for photographers, for instance, you get information about their country of origin, their own website, their e-mail address, the Select issues in which they appeared, as well as a selection of their work. Very handy for professionals, but also great if you want to discover talented artists.
The magazine is however hard to get, as few distributors carry it.
Enjoy!
