Hannah said:I was once contacted to do some editorial photography for them once (nothing naked), and I turned it down. I hope to be a serious journalist someday, and I didn't want that credit to come back and bite me in the backside.
XThe NavigatorX said:The photographers for Hustler, Playboy, etc have the reputation for being some of the best in the world. I strongly suspect it would've done more good for your career than bad.
Sheryl Nantus said:I believe Stephen King wrote for them when he was first starting out.

unless the byline is for an article entitled "Bestiality -- and Why I Love It"
(or something along those lines).:horse:
If the topic of the article is something a bit more respectable, I think it can only help your career to have "Hustler" on your list of credits -- for one, your c.v. will certainly make more of an impression on any possible future employer! Heck, even more so if you're female!
Of course, if you disapprove of "Hustler" and magazines of that ilk, then you should certainly place principle above all else ...

I'm new to writing, but not new to photography. And no, I would not want my name next to a photograph in Hustler magazine, since you asked.

Dave, are you saying that the classic "A Sale of Two Titties" was yours?DaveKuzminski said:Use a different name. Publications, such as Hustler, tend to be discreet and not reveal true identities. Some of the work I've had published in "discreet" publications paid quite well and promptly. What's more, the same writings they purchased from me were equally capable of being accepted in family-oriented publications, so sometimes it's just a matter of who's willing to pay better. Still, I published under another name with them.
