Unleashing Your Creative Potential

Traditionally, editorial photography means the images that accompany an article in a publication. But editorial images can also exist on their own and imply a narrative or outline a creative concept.

The very first step in creating editorial photography is to determine the story that you want to tell. Editorial photography is almost always composed of a series of photos that tell a story. This is where we come to your rescue.

What Is Editorial Photography?

Editorial photography is a type of photography that aims to tell a story or portray a concept. Editorial photography is commonly found in magazines, newspapers, editorial features, and journalism. Unlike commercial photography, editorial photography relies much more on story than it does on a brand. The motive, therefore, is not to sell but rather express and engage.

Editorial photography is nor restrained by brand image like commercial photography. Nor does it depend on the unpredictable nature of street photography. Editorial photography allows photographers to use every tool at their disposal to create an image that tells a story

How To Plan An Editorial Photoshoot?

Focus on the story.
You’ll want to get as much information as you can prior to the photoshoot so you can bring the right gear and plan the right kind of shoot. Make sure that you ask plenty of questions, including: What’s the story about? Who is the person or subject? What’s the mood or tone of the story?

Develop your own style.
With editorial photoshoots, a mood board is essential. It keeps everyone involved aligned on the goal of the shoot and the ideal aesthetic.

When you’ve got the mood and aesthetic planned, it’s time to get into the specifics. In addition to packing the right equipment, bringing the right props and finding the perfect space, you’ll probably need to fill in some paperwork. If you hire models or rent space for the shoot, you’ll need release forms — like model releases and property releases. These forms can protect your client and ensure everyone is fairly compensated.
