Advertising versus Editorial; lecture

Advertising versus Editorial lecture 

Fashion, vogue magazine 
  • is about selling a lifestyle
  • clothes, makeup and hair, accessories 
  • taste 
  • aspirational 
Adverts
  • old fashion makeup ads didn't show any application of makeup, even though it was a makeup ad
  • you can see a variety of looks which is the difference between a commercial and an advert
  1. Commercial photography (advertising photography) sells a product 
  2. Fashion photography seems a lifestyle 
  3. Editorial photography sells a story 
  4. Beauty photography similar to an editorial, but can sell something else 
Commercial
  • convinces the viewer to buy product and that they cannot live without the product 
  • selling a product 
  • the product is in the commercial 
Editorial: 
  • selling a theme or a story 
  • beauty editorial has a theme 
  • supported by text to tell a story 
  • sophisticated 
  • beauty blogging-talk about the moment/time and then the product fits in 
  • printed magazine, blog, e-zine 
  • editorial has to connect and 'go' with the magazine 
  • sell a story or dream 
  • editorial supports text 
Fashion photography 
  • complex lighting for a dramatic look 
  • play around with the lighting to find the perfect look for the model
