Editorial photography

On the advise of my tutor, I am looking at editorial photography as he feels that is probably the genre of photography I should be gearing myself towards for the future. I knew that my chosen subject areas in the field were varied and I appreciated the guidance, as I was a little clueless as to where I wanted to go, I just knew what I liked. Editorial photography is described as photography used to illustrate a story or idea within the context of a magazine and I can see now from comparing editorial work to my own my work, that it is an area I should definitely consider. I looked on the internet and found several photographer's websites, some of whom I have highlighted below.

Born in England and educated in France, Terestchenko was a painter until the age of 30 when he became a photographer and landed an assignment with French Vogue. He regularly contributes to many international publications, including Italian Vogue and World of Interiors. He also photographed The Private World of Ives Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge. He rarely shows his work in public but four of his large scale black and white prints are exhibited in the Musée du Louvre.
