Magazine Publishing | SAM - Starting a Magazine

WE ARE STARTING A MAGAZINE - ARE YOU SAM?

Some of the pages in my magazine are going to be on fashion. I want to have pictures of just the clothing and accessories (not on models) and pair together items to suggest outfits. It will then say where the items came from and how much they cost. Pretty simple and we have all seen this before. But the question I have is on the actual pictures. Do the clothing companies provide you with pictures, do you have to buy them and take pictures of them yourself, or what? I guess this question really goes for all product types. How do you get product pictures and what do you have to be careful of legally?

Often you can contact the media rep for the company and explain you'd like to feature their product in your magazine, and could they email you a high-res image of the product to use. Most of the time, they will be all too happy to do that, and simply ask that you send them a tear sheet when it publishes. Legally, they just gave you permission to use that photo. Keep the email to CYA.

If you want to do the photo shoot yourself, you need to arrange some sort of loaner program with the store/organization. Some places would loan on my word, but most places require a cc number in case the item is damaged. Ask the store manager only...anyone below that level rarely has that authority. Worst case scenario, you can buy the item, shoot it, and take it back. Legally, I have no idea what you'd have to worry about here.
