Editorial photography, by its very essence, is an avenue for storytelling. It can be a visual journey that conveys a message, an emotion or a narrative, all of which captivate the viewer.
Creativity becomes the lifeblood of this endeavour. Each shoot is a canvas, waiting for a unique story to unfold and it's the task of the photographer to craft images that resonate and connect. The ever-changing venues, often unpredictable, add an element of excitement and challenge. They can be grand or intimate, indoors or outdoors, in well-lit spaces or dimly lit corners, which is where experience and a well-equipped photography arsenal become indispensable.
My primary goal in editorial photography is to produce high-quality and meaningful photos. I want each image to be a visual masterpiece that not only meets but exceeds the client's goals.

How Skai Began Doing Editorial Photography
I started by doing portrait shoots and showcasing my growing portfolio online. As my body of work expanded, clients began to take notice, approaching me not only for portraits but also for event and interior shoots.
One of my early forays into editorial photography was a significant milestone. An interior company, looking to feature their work in a magazine, reached out to me for a photoshoot that would highlight their creations. This project not only fuelled my enthusiasm but also introduced me to the intricacies of shooting for publications.
The story continued to evolve as an advertising company sought my expertise for a multi-faceted project encompassing portraits, product photography and interior shots. This multifaceted endeavour marked a turning point, demonstrating my capacity to handle a diverse range of photography needs.
Soon, clients began approaching me specifically for editorial portrait shoots, with a focus on images intended for interviews and marketing purposes within magazines.
It was a nervous start, recognising the importance of these images, but with every shutter click, I poured my best efforts into each editorial project, determined to create visuals that would make a mark in the world of publications.
Why Skai Loves Doing Editorial Photography

It's not just about capturing their images but also the opportunity to learn from their experiences and soak in their positive energy. What's truly heartwarming is when these accomplished figures treat me not as a mere photographer but as a friend. It's a testament that in this world, kindness transcends wealth and this inspires me. This connection, even without tangible gains beyond friendship and my standard photography fee, is something I cherish deeply.

It's about creating images that tell stories and evoke emotions and when they find their way into magazines, they reach countless readers and resonate with them. It's the satisfaction of knowing that my visuals have the power to move people, even if it's from behind the scenes.
