In this brief excerpt from the "Shoot the Cover" contest video, two judges (Speaker A and Speaker B) discuss the selection process for choosing a photographer to shoot the November cover of Condé Nast Traveler, using portfolios submitted via the Wix platform. Speaker B emphasizes that while many photographers excel at taking photos, they often lack strong editing skills and the editorial maturity needed to choose images that will engage the audience, even if those images aren't the photographer's personal favorites. Speaker A suggests that the top candidates are likely among the first two or three submissions. The conversation concludes with Speaker B stating that a decision has been reached, indicating that a photographer has been selected based on these criteria.

We are judging from the photographers who've submitted their portfolios on the WIX site, one of those people will come shoot our November cover. I think that so many photographers are great at photography, but they are not great at editing. It's really having that maturity to say, it might not be my favorite, but it's actually the thing that will grab you. It's sort of the COVID
I think it's probably one of the first two or three.
I think we've come to our decision.
