Editorial photography to me, is essentially a photograph that can support text. I think that in order to create a photograph that goes with text means that photograph has to be interesting; have a narrative or a story to it or something happening.
As a starting point to this project, I wanted to look at the things around me and see if there is anything that I can document in my everyday life in order to create an editorial series of photographs.
This image is taken by photographer 'Nick Waplington' and although he is known for his documentary photography his work shows a great deal of narrative throughout.
This image documents a man who is fixing his car but the surroundings of the child playing and the mother with the pushchair make the photograph interesting; because there are a lot of things going on.
Every area of the photograph has a subject although the child and her bike and the mother and pram stand out due to the bright colours, the image is quite heavy and contrasty making the brighter colours really bold and the blacks in the image really black, this makes the image have a lot of clarity.
This image is an example of how an everyday scenario can be photographed and made into a narrative image that has a story and could support a piece of text, therefore I would like to use my home and everyday life as a starting point in creating my editorial photographs.
