Editorial photography refers to photographs that are used to illustrate a story or concept in a publication, such as a newspaper, magazine, or online news website. These photographs are typically taken by professional photographers and are chosen for their ability to communicate a message or idea visually.

Editorial photography can be used to illustrate a wide range of subjects, from news events and political stories to fashion, lifestyle, and cultural issues. It is often accompanied by written content that provides context and background information about the subject being photographed.

The style of editorial photography can vary widely depending on the publication and the story being told. It may be documentary in nature, capturing candid moments as they happen, or it may be more stylized and carefully composed to convey a particular mood or atmosphere.

To be successful as an editorial photographer, it is essential to have a strong understanding of visual storytelling and the ability to anticipate and capture critical moments. A solid foundation in technical skills, such as lighting, composition, and post-processing is also essential.
