A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Megan Oteri, Photographer and Writer

Unlocking Your Voice

Only you can tell

your story.

Frame your writing.What do you want your audience to

see?

Tell them where to look… by leading them (word choice) and letting them draw their own conclusion

Shine a light.

Look inside the picture for the story.

Sometimes the story is inside the story.

Listen to the photo. Listen to the muse. Listen to yourself. Listen.

Quickwrite – 5 minutes

Bring the two together – your photo and your writing

If you’re stuck…ask for help.
