Photographer Ben Hassett gets up close and personal for Models.com with the creative forces often behind the scenes. They are the Industry, Now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In an era where traditional magazines are operating under tighter budgets, Jorge Garcia is one of the major media players that has profited from being in the background, on a need to know basis. After getting his start working on the sales team for books like V Magazine and Visionaire, the publisher was brought on to help launch Carine Roitfeld&#8217;s opus, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/cr-fashion-book\">CR Fashion Book<\/a> and later <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/cr-mens-book\">CR Men&#8217;s<\/a>, bringing in the much-needed ad dollars during a time when many failed to see the profitability of another fashion tome being added to the print fray. An avid art collector, he&#8217;s also brought his publishing expertise to the <a href=\"https:\/\/gagosian.com\/quarterly\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gagosian Quarterly<\/a>, helping to establish an editorial perspective at one of the most famous galleries in the world.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"txtbox\">\n<p><strong>What has allowed you to stay true to a personal vision as the industry trials ways to adapt to modern challenges?<\/strong><br \/>\nI always questioned and challenged myself.
