Here’s a very interesting interview with Pamela Chen the Editorial Director for Instagram with PDN. In this interview Chen explains her role, the community’s objectives, her typical day and of course the criteria that she uses to select Instagram accounts to highlight. ‘Instagram has emerged as a source of income and opportunity for professional photographers, who work for brands and marketers creating images for the platform.
