what is an Editorial and how is photatrathy used in it ?

The term Editorial is usualy used in the Media world, meaning a piece based  on opinion /gives the audience a specific view, this is normally the editor's or lead journalist .
these opinion bast stories are sometimes portrayed in a cartoon form but can also be viewed in of newspapers columns.

In the context of photography  this is mainly used in magazines displaying photographs of something aimed at the public
 in fashion magazines there will be styles shops want to become more popular so they will realise alot of pieces for models to ware in magazines to show there opion on "the new hottest look"
 (eg. full page photographs on a particular theme, designer, model or other single topic)
these photographs are very affective when trying to advertise to a audience from one style or theme or to just display there own on a subjected .

 The foto8 website shows a completely different side to Editorial for example the photo stories pages show a very small range  of artists which have the collections exhibited and there stories have very clear messages which are displayed by there photos and there captions and stories

on the other side of the spectrum from foto8 to the guardian which shows the complete opposite opinions but in the same way by producing a photograph or collection of photographs that show there argument then producing the storys or video clip with it to tell there views and opinions on the subject

Colombia cable kids - big picture 28 July
Big picture: Colombian Cable Runners, by Christoph Otto


this story is about two children who Every day
(Daisy Moro and her brother) risk their life to get to school,
 by flying high across a canyon attached only to a thin steel cable.

"The sense of flight, the little boy crammed into a sack and the look of anxious concentration on the girl's face suggest something sinister. In fact, this is the school run, Colombian rainforest-style."
this photograph is taken by Christoph Otto Born 1966 in West-Berlin
 magazines have taken the opportunity to acquire outstanding text and photo stories of one source.her photos reportage depicting extraordinary human ways of life have found international acclaim.

the photograth is blured in the backround to focas the girl  this was probley inhansted on a computer, this brings an importence to this girl, this  makes her the most importent point in the photo ,
there is a good light in the photo makeing the colours bright and the greens feel warmer.

the tital  really changes my view on this photograth becouse you feel alot of simperfey for this child and her brother,i really like this photo becouse of the intece look on the girls face as she looks to her desternation .
to conclude a
Editorial positions are very impotent because they are the voice of the Media which the public listen to and by showing pictures with there stories it keeps the audience interested and in this case pictures speak louder than words and can bring emotions to the audiences
