Fashion and Editorial Photography Overview of the Genres
What is Fashion? • Fashion is about selling a lifestyle • This can be through clothes or accessories • Fashion is often aspirational Images by Bruno Dayan
What is Editorial? • Editorial is concerned with a theme • It can be supported by text to tell the story • But it has to have a strong narrative structure, regardless of whether or not text is relevant • Sometimes Reportage (stories of public interest) are presented in an editorial format • Editorial formats include: printed magazine an e-zine or online blog format
Reportage story appearing in editorial feature about Japans Fukushima Tsunami
Another example of reportage in an editorial format: Kulture Magazine
Kulture Magazine: editorial feature about bulldozing of illegal immigrants camp in Spain, reportage public interest story in magazine format
What about Commercial? • Commercial is all about selling the product • Convincing the viewer that they can’t live without that particular item • Persuading the audience to go out and purchase that must have product
Genre cross - over • Fashion Editorials are evident in magazines • But the images have to link to tell a story • The narrative has to flow and be clear • Some commercial products are disguised to appear in editorial pieces as a way of sub consciously persuading the viewer to purchase an item, usually supported by text, this is what the industry label an advertorial
Feature Editorials • Images to accompany text • Typically found in Lifestyle and Sunday Supplement Magazines
