Cover Shoot Of A Lifetime: Three Inspired Wix Photographers Win Chance To Shoot National Magazine Covers

NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX) is delighted to announce that three of our incredible photographers won the opportunity to shoot the covers of BRIDES and Condé Nast Traveler, and assist a celebrity photographer on a cover shoot for Vanity Fair.

Wix and Condé Nast teamed up for the #LookStunning campaign to award global photographers the chance to turn their passion into a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity. Thousands of photographers from over 150 countries and 35 languages submitted their online portfolios for the chance to win.

Congratulations to the winners:

• Nicholas La, originally from China and now a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, will be shooting the cover of Condé Nast Traveler. Nicholas is an urban and landscape photographer. He has traveled the globe photographing the world's most beautiful sites, inspiring people to travel and do what they love.
• Max Montgomery, of New York City, will be shooting the cover of BRIDES. Max moved from the U.K. to New York City, and was born and raised in the photography industry. He has shot for numerous magazines including Vogue Italia, Marie Claire, Town and Country and The Sunday Times.
• Tony Salvagio, of Los Angeles, will be the assistant to the photographer for a cover shoot of Vanity Fair. Tony notes he frequently finds inspiration by finding signs for events or stores pointing him in new directions to see new things.

Each of the winners will be sent to their shoot location, where Wix and Condé Nast will create a behind-the-scenes film to share with aspiring photographers everywhere to show what it's like to be on a shoot for one of the world's most popular magazines. In addition to the cover shoot, the magazine will also feature the work of the winner in a spread.
