Editorial Photography

For many years photography has been sucessfully used for demonstration and instructional purposes in lieu of graphics or drawings. it remains current today and it is very effective for multiple purposes, especially when it comes to describing a particular moment, lyfestyle or an entire sequence ranging from cosmetic treatments to advanced surgery or from instructions manuals to urban lifestyle.


Editorial

 

There is no absolute definition of "editorial photography", because the answer depends on factors such as where are the person asking the question located; from what perspective is the question asked and so on.

 

Generally speaking, in the US, editorial images are images, not used in advertisements, in newspapers, magazines and the insides of books.

If the question isn't asked from a legal point of view but rather a philosophical one, the answer becomes a tad more hard to pin down. In a nutshell though - as an earlier poster has pointed out - editorial images are used to illustrate an article, story, text, or to inform/educate as standalone.

 

Can editorial photography be made in the studio? You bet. Can it be photojournalism? Ansolutely. Can it be me standing on my head snapping pics using a Holga using my big toe to click the shutter? Yep. It's the usage of the images rather than the method used to make them that is a determining factor, at least from a legal perspective.

 


Either for magazine pictorials or marketing strategies, Editorial Photography brings business to your door. Use photography for high-end catalogs and even flyers, leveraging the impact only digital photography can offer. Be ready for your next marketing campaign or magazine spread, based on custom-made photography at affordable rates. This is the time to switch over to using photography at digital prices, not film prices.

 

Instructional Design

 

All training developers face the challenge of illustrating procedures and interactions properly. Most instructional designers responsible for the concept and scope of any given program find in Editorial Photography an excellent medium for developing their courseware or PowerPoint presentations. If you need to get your message across, think of Editorial Photography for Instructional Design purposes as the right one tool.
