PROJECT #8: PHOTO ESSAY #1

WHAT IS A PHOTO ESSAY?
There are two types of photo essays: the narrative and the thematic. 
Narrative photo essays focus on a story you’re telling the viewer.
Thematic photo essays speak to a specific subject.


DIRECTIONS.
1. Choose a NARRATIVE or THEME to photograph: an event/subject matter/theme that has a story that can be told. Choosing something specific may help you to zero-in on the what and why you are telling this story. 

 3. Who will you be photographing for the essay? A person or people must be involved in your topic or theme. 50% (give or take a bit) of your final images must include a human presence.

 4. Once you have decided on a narrative/theme, plan the images you will make from the list below.

5. 24 photos minimum.

CONSIDER.
Put your emotions aside. Open your eyes. Take interesting angles. Include interesting light.
Make thoughtful compositions. What is the humanity in your subject...and capture it.
