“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.” -Edward Steichen

How do you tell a story with images?
To tell a story with images you must treat the camera exactly like your eye. It is important to see different angles and vantage points in order to understand the parameters of the story and the space that it is told in. The photographer must do their best to capture emotion and important moments of the event. To capture these moments and tell a story with them, the camera must be ready at all times. It helps to think of the photo shoot in terms of a song, movie, book, or anything that has a narrative of words. Although it is not totally necessary, placing the photos in a particular order also helps move the story fluidly.
