5 PHOTO ESSAY TIPS
1. FIND A TOPIC
Photo essays are most dynamic when you as the photographer
care about the subject. Make your topic something in which
you find interest.
LOOKING FOR WHAT OTHERS DON’T SEE…
2. DO YOUR RESEARCH
For example, if you document a newborn’s first month, spend time with the
family. Discover who the parents are,
what culture they are from, whether they are upper or lower class. These factors will help you in planning out the
type of shots you set up for your story.
LOOKING FOR STORIES THAT HAVEN’T BEEN TOLD
3. FIND THE “REAL STORY”
After your research, you can
determine the angle you want to take
your story. The main factors of each story create an incredibly
unique story.
NOT AFRAID TO BE WHAT YOU ARE
PHOTOGRAPHING
4. EVERY DYNAMIC STORY IS BUILT ON A SET OF CORE
VALUES AND EMOTIONS THAT TOUCH THE HEART OF ITS
AUDIENCEJoy. Fear. Hurt. Excitement. The best way
you can connect your photo essay with its audience is to draw out the
emotions within the story and utilize them in your shots. This does not mean that you manipulate your audience’s emotions. You merely use
emotion as a connecting point
5. PLAN YOUR SHOTS
Visualize each shot of the story,
or simply walk through the venue/place/event in your mind, you will want to think about the
type of shots that will work best to tell your story.
