photospreads

Picture-heavy magazine features

Photospreads are layouts of photographs arranged across one or more pages, typically in magazines, newspapers, or online publications.

The term emphasizes visual storytelling through multiple images presented together: a fashion photospread, a celebrity photospread in a glossy magazine.

Photospreads often accompany feature articles or stand alone as pictorial content.
