I've finally been published.  Unfortunately, my name is nowhere to be found in the article.  I posted the pic in my portfolio.  I'm hoping to get physical copies of the magazine this week.  Yeah for me

good for you

Awesome!!!  Why wasnt your name anywhere to be found though?

Awesome!  Well deserved credit to both you and your husband.

good for you! yeah!
sometimes we get screwed on credit..
mostly photographers are only ones credited!

very nice.  You do nice work!

Congratulations!

Way to go!!!

Way to go. Every one get screwed at some point on listed in credits. As a photographer I always try to get credit for those involved in a shoot.

Hi five and a bootay bump to you!!!  I remember my first one... I got so many copies.  Have fun and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Congrats girl!

Mary

Hooray!

And plenty more to come!

Congrats and may you have many more! This is the sort of thing MM should be parting about; when members get published and stuff (at least for the first time).

  -P-

Make sure you get documented credits somewhere (in a letter or something) to prove that you were indeed the artist!

Congratulations to you!

You Rock.... Great work  !!

Congrats!

Congratulations and here's a tear sheet related question.  I did a shoot for a jewelry designer who was thrilled with pics,  and informed me that some of them have been accepted for style.com,  which is not a printed magazine obviously,    but it is the website for vogue and w.  They'll be running for the month of May.   Does this count as a tear sheet??  the photographer on the shoot and I were talking about it, and he thought it would,  because it's a form of media,  and more people are using websites to advertise.

It's always interesting when someone asks "Is/would this be considered a tear sheet?"

What generally is and isn't considered a tear is by and large meaningless.

Like any other shot in your book, a tear should be an exemplary example of your work.  If it isn't, don't put it in there.

Secondly, what makes them different is to show a certain level of ability to work with clients.  Lots of people can make great images, less can make great images that fit a specific clients' request.  Fewer still can make great images worthy of publication...and finally, fewer still can make great images worthy of publication for the magazines behalf (advertising quality constraints are generally less strict than editorial).

So, with all that in mind, the only questions that are important to ask is whether or not the work that was shown is an exemplary sample of your work, and if the prestige of the job represents a new height in your career.

That's what's important, not the publication.  Having an editorial spread in a magazine no one's ever heard of is likely to be a better tear for you than an inset shot where you did the makeup on some person who's picture was taken at a party in the who's who section of the largest magazines in the world.

Hope that makes sense and helps.

Gail,

I had same question about a modeling tear. I printed the image in my book and in the corner- I printed a small screen shot of the web ad. It was for AOL and I think is a VERY crediable tear. I have seen another fashion model do this.

Style.com is pretty big. You may want to re-consider.

We are in fact, in the digital age!

congratulations :-)
