GEO France's new director of photography, Magdalena Herrera, will be the next guest editor for CPN’s unique opportunity for photographers - Editor’s Choice - that offers you the chance to have your photographs seen and edited by some of the top photo editors in the business.
For Editor’s Choice with just one click of a mouse you can upload your photographs for viewing by the world’s top photo editors. If they make the final shortlist selection after the rigorous editing process your photos will be showcased on the CPN website. Every two months a new guest photo editor is named and a new selection of photographs can be submitted.
Magdalena Herrera was the art director and head of photography for National Geographic France from the magazine's inception in 1999 until her 2009 appointment as director of photography for GEO France.
