3 / 10 Telling stories with photos
Before you start taking pictures, ask yourself what you want to
communicate
• Not just the who and what
• Give a sense of the experience: what makes this unique?
What sets this story apart?
• Shoot variety: distance / angle / subject
• Shoot close ups that show detail
• Show people – show them up close
• Show people doing something that‘s characteristic for them or the
situation / event
• Show action by taking a few shots as a series
4 / 10 Telling stories with photos
Putting together a slide show:
• start with a strong picture, end with a strong picture
• Choose pictures with a good mix of various angles and
distances („pacing“)
e.g. a wide angle -> medium -> extreme
close up -> wide angle Example: http://tocologne.wordpress.com/2012/10/21/feels-like-fall-2012-edition/
• If you decide to use captions, they should be correct and
factual – not a repeat of what the audience sees in the
picture
