So what separates the future writers, photographers and stylists of Zink from the other hundreds of submissions they receive each month? Think daring.
"If you want to be a part of Zink you have to do things that other magazines wouldn't dare publish," advises Ishak.
And don't worry about your industry experience level. It's the end result, not how you got to it that matters to Zink. "We've had shoots with people who are household names like Karl Lagerfeld, as well as very young photographers whose entire portfolio books are all Zink. It ranges."
To be successful at getting your foot (and work) in the door at Zink, Ishak recommends doing your homework. "Look at the past few issues of Zink," he says. "See the consistency in what we feature. It's about pushing the envelope as far as we can without compromising our mission statement."
"If you're a photographer, shoot in a way that Zink couldn't possible say no to." The same goes for the longing-to-be-read writer. "It's no longer people talking about the photography, but now they are talking about the articles," he says. "That's the biggest flattery. We've caught up and are now strong in both editorial and photography."
