My First Magazine Cover
November 25, 2012 • Photography & Travel
Last month SpiceRoute, the inflight magazine for SpiceJet airlines in India, reached out to me asking if they could purchase one of my photos for use on the cover of their November 2012 inflight magazine issue. It’s the first time one of my photos has made the cover of a magazine. The article was focused on Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and they were after a couple of photos that I had taken during 2 of my trips to Amritsar, India, during this very same festival over the last couple of years.
Below is the cover, inside cover and cover article spread on page 23 of the November issue.
SpiceRoute is the in-flight entertainment magazine for one of India’s largest domestic carriers, SpiceJet. With 125 flights to 18 destinations daily and over 15,000 people flying Spicejet for business and leisure within India everyday, Spiceroute is one of India’s most widely read inflight magazines.
