When I first started photography, I hated taking pictures of people. I didn’t understand how to pose them and wasn’t good at editing portraits. But as I learned, it has become one of my favorite types of photography. For this project, I wanted to create an editorial magazine including my photography and graphic design styles. In this article, you will find the editorial magazine photography I created. I am so proud of these photos!

I love taking close-up portraits. It shows the beauty of the models’ faces and provides great practice for editing people. It is such a simple photo, but it is beautiful.

This photo came from when we were experimenting with different poses. I was getting frustrated with myself because I couldn’t figure out what I wanted. We eventually just started trying everything, and from this I learned what I liked! This pose is playful and fun, and provides movement in the photo.

For almost all of the photos, I had my models create serious or somber expressions. This helped create simplicity and emotion in the photos. It created a theme within all of the photos and turned out beautifully.

Editorial Magazine Photography: RGB Lighting

RGB lighting is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I love to create different colors, angles, and shading while shooting the photos, and in editing. RGB lighting is perfect for editorial magazine photography.
