Writing a story based on editorial photographs whilst including the interview responses, personal opinions etc. is an art of its own. In order to properly understand how to write such articles, I read up and analysed a few articles published on Vogue Website.
“Daydreaming” - Elliot and Erick Jimenez for Gucci Beauty
[Annotated Feature article on Daydreaming.]
“Whispering” - Bodhi Shola for Xiaomi
[Annotated Feature article on Whispering.]
Analysis:
What I noticed collectively in both of these articles were that they are the results of the artist’s own interpretations of the selected topic. And through these unique and creative portraits they have conveyed a really powerful message to their audience. In addition each of these shoots have a particular title and can be summarised in a few key words. Although the articles are short and concise they are very influential. That is because the major part of the story is conveyed through the editorial photographs itself. They have also given all the artists involved in creating the art (Hair and makeup, costume etc.) appropriate credits as well.
Learning outcome:
This analysis gave me an understanding on how I should write my own editorial article so that it conveys the message I am trying to represent in the photos without diminishing the visual elements.
