Photography is a language, and while a single photo can be incredibly powerful, a series of photos that tell a story is even more powerful.
Most people think of the media when they think of photojournalism. It’s true that photojournalism is one of the mainstays of photojournalism, but it’s also relevant in many other ways – to document your family, the place you live or work, or the business your company is running. The key is to think about a series of photos that together convey your message.
In this course, the instructor outlines the basics of shooting a photo essay, from thinking about your story photographically to presenting your final photo story.
