ASME, the American Society of Magazine Editors, recently announced the nominees for its annual Best Cover Contest. We’re thrilled to report that six of our photographers are among the creatives whose work was selected:
• Two Parents covers by Melanie Acevedo—a back-to-school series of fashion portraits and a portrait for a feature on raising confident girls—were chosen in the Best Women’s Lifestyle category.
• Our newest photographer, Alexei Hay—stay tuned for more on Alexei in the coming weeks—placed in two categories: His Uma Thurman cover for Town & Country was chosen in Best Travel & Adventure, and his portrait of model Bella Hadid for Seventeen was named in the Best Style & Design category. A Southern Living cover by Miller Mobley, featuring actress Jennifer Garner, also was picked in this category.
• In the Best Celebrity & Entertainment Covers category, the nominees include Jeff Lipsky‘s cover portrait of Mad Men stars Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss; Miller’s photos of musician Jack White for Billboard, director Ron Howard and actor Chris Hemsworth for Parade, and actress/director Elizabeth Banks for The Hollywood Reporter; Nino Muñoz‘s portrait for the cover of Essence‘s feature on Shonda Rhimes’ hit shows, Scott Foley of Scandal for Live Happy, and Neil Patrick Harris for Parade; and Art Streiber‘s portrait of actress/writer Rashida Jones for Wired.
