  • Change is in the wind at TV Guide. The 50-year-old magazine has fired longtime photography director Hazel Hammond and replaced her with Donna Bender, who was given the heave-ho at celebrity magazine In Touch in December. A spokesperson for TV Guide says more editorial changes are on the way in the next week or so, but declined to elaborate. Bender was at People before leaving in 2002 to head the photography department at then start-up In Touch. Her first day on the job is Monday.

  • Getty Images has filled two executive positions in its global creative photography team. Amy Steigbigel has been named director of photography, New York and Zoe Whishaw has been promoted to director of photography, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Steigbigel was formerly director of photography at Details and co-founder of Wallspace, an independent Manhattan gallery dedicated to discovering emerging talent. Based in New York, Steigbigel will focus on developing content as well as expanding Getty Images' photographer base. Whishaw has been with Getty since its founding, most recently serving as director of photography, United Kingdom, and has art-directed numerous award-winning images. Whishaw's primary focus will be on the French, German and U.K. markets. Steigbigel and Whishaw will report to Andrew Saunders, Getty's vice president of imagery, who is based in London.

  • Cally Bybee and Mary Patton Sage have been named co-creative directors at Cole Henderson Drake, a full-service independent ad agency in Atlanta. Sage, a former art director at Fallon in Minneapolis, freelanced for the past three years. Bybee was a copywriter at The Richards Group in Dallas. The two Portfolio Center graduates took over the six-person creative unit last week. CHD's clients include Delta Apparel and Wendy's International.

  • Advocacy and educational organization Editorial Photographers (EP) has elected Brian Smith as president and Shawn Henry as vice president. Outgoing president Seth Resnick and vice president Paula Lerner, who have been with the organization since its founding, will remain on the executive board. EP was founded in 1998 after a small group of San Francisco-based photographers decided to protests Business Week's contract terms and usage fees. Membership has since grown to include more than 4,000 professional photographers, and the organization's offerings now include such tools as pricing calculators, downloadable contracts and the influential EP forum. www.editorialphoto.com

  • Dorian Romer has joined Alkit's corporate sales team. Prior to joining Alkit, Romer spent almost six years at Kodak as an account manager for commercial photographers. Before that, Romer worked as a photo editor, freelance photographer and commercial producer. She is a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and is currently exhibiting her fine art photography in New York and nationally.

  • Corbis has laid off several people in its scanning and production departments. Twenty-three jobs, four of which were temporary positions, were eliminated last week from New York, London, Los Angeles and Seattle. Corbis spokesman Michael Croan says the analog scanning positions are no longer necessary as the company receives more and more incoming files digitally. Croan also says the integration of archives purchased in recent years is nearing completion, which further necessitated the move.

  • Award-winning photojournalist Robert King has left Polaris to sign with ZUMA Press. King departs this week for Iraq, where he will cover postwar developments in and around Baghdad. Over the past decade, King has covered wars and political unrest in hotspots around the globe. He is best known for his four-years of reporting in Chechnya, and was among the Associated Press staffers chosen as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in 1996 for its coverage of the war between Russia and the breakaway republic.
