[...] O Mercado de Trabalho, Segundo Bob Hoggart Rob Haggart é editor de Fotografia, ou foi. Não se arrepende da decisão de deixar a redação do Men’s Journal, trocar Nova York por Durango (Colorado) e investir na internet. Com um blog super ligado no Mercado (o PhotoFolio, link na imagem) e muita perspicácia, já lançou uma plataforma de sites para profissionais, com direito a mostruário com trabalhos do onipresente Antonin Kratochvil. Haggart nada a favor da corrente e seu blog não é um a mais no mar de informações sem sentido, principalmente porque se preocupa em debater e apresentar questões. Faz isso sem misturar autoria, copyright e proposta de trabalho para o Mercado editorial/institucional. Em um de seus posts tem uma entrevista com o Diretor Criativo da Wired, Scott Dadich, que comenta o respeito que tem pelo trabalho dos fotógrafos que trabalham para essa prestigiosa revista. “Não dou permissão aos nossos designer cortar ou alterar nenhuma das imagens em nossas páginas e, em grande parte, tentamos não escrever sobre elas”. Leia a entrevista aqui. [...]

Hi Rob,

So this is where you are now…enjoying your blog.
Is Scott Dadich still Art Director at Wired? Thought maybe there’s been a shake-up there as several photographers have been dropped from the masthead (Dan Winters, me and others Scott had worked with regularly).

Best,
Gregg

This was a good ans useful interview. I am a graphic designer and a amateur photographer. I am always in a battle to find expressive photos for my designs. Photography is like meat for a cook. The final dish depends a lot on the quality of the materials you use.

Thank you for sharing with us, Mr. Scott

Hi, I’m a graphic designer with a strong interest on moving my career into magazines. I’m very good at type and layouts but lack the skills to work with photographers and envision photographic language.

¿What would you suggest as a good way to improve such skills?

Is it me or do all these maga like Wired, Esquire, GQ, Details look the same design wise? I mean, I srsly dig the pics above, but it seems that more and more mags look generic.

Hi Scott,

Now that we’re well into the digital photography revolution, what is your take on the quality of digital vs film photography?
Also, what adjustments (if any), have you made to your print production schedule to allow for a film photographer’s longer production time (film processing, contact sheet printing, couriers, etc.)?

Kind regards,

Finn

Whoops, forgot to add that I love Wired’s use of photography. Nick Waplington’s “Eureka!” series was one of those subtle bodies of work that continue to knock me over, even months after I’ve seen it. Love seeing work like that.

After about six months on the job at my magazine, I think I’ve finally got my designers/ADs on the same page regarding photo treatment. It’s quite satisfying to see a book’s photography develop into something better, especially in the genre we work in (int’l automotive enthusiasts).

Being a fairly “new” photographer, these questions might be well known to others, but I will ask anyways…and I am sure Rob can answer this as well.

You mentioned in this interview that you should never receive a promo that your PE did not…what does this mean in terms of who generally finds photographers to shoot work for WIRED?…does the CD or PE generally have more say in who is hired? Or, is it more of a personal opinion type of thing based on something else?

Also, I noticed a link between the CD’s at Texas Monthly, Wired, GQ, etc…does this have any effect on how you find new photographers or even using older ones as you move? I have noticed guys like Peter Yang shooting a couple years ago for Texas Monthly…and now I see him in Wired, ESPN, Blender quite a bit, so obviously a connection was made. Do you go more on your personal relationship with the photographer, or more on what you see fitting to your particular magazine?

Any/all responses appreciated. Thanks Rob for another good interview!

I think that not allowing photos to be cropped is the key to design that that supports photography.

“I believe in respecting the work and vision of our photographers.”

Wow! I find it hard to get my portfolio designer to respect my images as much. Most designers feel that they need to contribute by cropping an image. If I’m doing my job right, the designer doesn’t need to crop my images.
