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.
