Who it is for

An editorial is a story told in a few frames, with a point of view. This service is for people who need a concept, not only a portrait or a product shot.

  • Brands planning a campaign
  • People preparing a story for a publication
  • Fashion, jewellery and beauty brands that want an editorial look
  • Personal brands who want portraits first: see personal branding photography

For a fashion shoot with models, location and production, see fashion brand photography. For catalogue to campaign visuals, see beauty and product photography; for fashion lookbooks, read how to plan a lookbook shoot.

Choosing a location in Toronto

We suggest choosing a location that serves the idea, not one that only decorates it. Before you commit, ask:

  • Is the place public or private, and who gives permission?
  • Is power available, and is there a space to change?
  • Where does daylight fall, and when?

Frequently asked questions

What is editorial photography?

Editorial photography tells a story or supports one, for example in a magazine, a publication or a campaign. The idea and the mood matter as much as the single frame, so the work starts with a concept.

How much does an editorial photographer cost in Toronto?

Pricing is shared on request because it depends on the scope: what is shot, how many finished images, the length of the shoot, locations, people on set, styling and props, and how the images will be used. Message us on Instagram with your idea and we'll get back to you.

Can you shoot a magazine cover or a billboard campaign?

Yes, the service covers magazine covers, publications and billboard campaigns. This is the scope of the service; we do not list placements. Tell us where the images will appear, because a cover and a billboard need different compositions.

How is an editorial shoot planned?

It starts with a brief and a concept, then the shoot and the delivery of the finished images. A moodboard can help; see our guide to building an editorial moodboard.

Is editorial photography the same as fashion photography?

Not always. Fashion is one subject an editorial can be about, and an editorial can also feature portraits, beauty, jewellery or a place. If your goal is a brand campaign, lookbook or e-commerce set, our fashion brand photography page may fit better. Send us the idea and we'll say which service suits it.

Do you do editorial-style portraits for weddings or maternity?

Yes, editorial ideas appear in other sessions too. Weddings & Elopements combine real moments with editorial-inspired portraits, and Maternity can be timeless, minimal or editorial.
