At _PHOTO Techniques_ I found that I could generally get covers and
portfolios for free, because many photographers were willing to dispense
with payment in return for getting their work featured so prominently in a
photography magazine. But what kind of message does it send to photographers
when a photography magazine won't pay for good photography? So we always,
always paid, period. The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for some other
photography magazines.
