What Is Photographic Storytelling?

Photographic storytelling is a way of conveying a narrative or a message through a series of images or a single image. It is an art form that combines visual aesthetics with storytelling to create a compelling and powerful story that connects with the viewer on an emotional level.

Open stories vs closed stories

A closed story is a self-contained narrative that has a clear beginning, middle, and end. It leaves no room for interpretation or imagination and often provides a sense of closure. Closed stories are ideal for conveying a specific message or telling a specific story, such as documenting a particular event or experience.

Open stories are a great way to engage the viewer and encourage them to think and feel for themselves. They evoke a sense of curiosity, as viewers are left to draw their own conclusions from the images they see. Open stories can be more abstract and less focused on a specific message, allowing viewers to connect with the story on a more personal level.

People are an integral part of any travel experience, and including them in your photos can add depth, emotion, and context to your story.

Capture The Behaviour

Wildlife photography is all about capturing the behaviour of animals in their natural habitat. To tell a compelling story with your wildlife photos, it’s essential to capture the unique behaviours, interactions, and movements of the animals.

Capture The Journey

A series of photos can tell the story of a journey, whether a hike, a road trip, or a cultural experience.  By capturing the different stages of the journey, you can create a narrative arc that engages your audience and makes them feel like they’re part of the adventure.
