Editorial
photography is mostly used in magazines and includes images that are not ads. A
editorial photographer is given a story by a newspaper or magazine and is
required to respond with a visual response linked to the theme of the magazine.
We were divided into teams by our tutor and required to produce a series of
images from a specific well known brand for a popular editorial magazine across
8 pages. The magazine and brand was picked at random from a hat which means
that they might not link together.
As a
requirement for the brief we had to compose two long shots, one close up and
two mid shots with the rest being our own choice. We were also required to use
flash photography on location.
My team
picked Vivienne Westwood and Elle magazine as our brands and editorial
which do not really suit each other so, we had to really think about the type
of clothes the models will wear, the location and the lighting styles.
As a team we
decided to use the theme of nature and the environment linked to the Vivienne
Westwood clothes line and decided to use some woods close by as the location
for our shoot. We decided to tone the style down of Vivienne Westwood's styles
in order to be suitable for our editorial Elle magazine. I believe the shoot
went well and we successfully met the requirements of the brief.
