The Evolution of a Photo Editor: An Interview with Susan McElhinney of Ranger Rick Magazine - a podcast by Jaymi Heimbuch - Conservation Photographer | Founder, Wild Idea Lab | Co-Creator, Her Wild Vision Initiative
from 2021-01-19T02:00
Many of us grew up on Ranger Rick Magazine, with a love of nature engrained even deeper with every issue filled to the brim with engaging animal images.
So… who exactly chooses those images? I'm excited that our guest for this episode is the woman at the helm, Susan McElhinney. Not only is Susan the Photography Editor for Ranger Rick, but she also oversees all the children's magazines, books and other projects under the umbrella of National Wildlife Federation Kids.
But long before she became a photo editor, Susan was just like us – working hard and making her way as a photographer. Indeed, Susan has been a pioneer for women in the field of photography. And she brings her stories and expertise to this interview.
From how she got her start as a photographer, to what she now looks for from the photographers binging her stories, Susan provides us with perspective and insights.
