Cinematic Narrative within Editorial and Advertisements


I love seeing editorials and advertisements with a cinematic and narrative feel. In these two shoots, we don't know what is happening (Why is he in a big warehouse with a lot of umbrellas? Why is he in a desert and what is he running from) but all the details have been left out and it is up to us to create our own narrative within our imaginations. I like that the images feel like a part of something bigger than what is actually shown.

These shoots blend both cinema and photography and I think it is a hard thing to do. Just like their their cinematic equivalent, making a movie out of still images, both formats seem to bridge the gap and combine elemental components from both mediums.
