Telling Better Stories With Your Photography

3 years 7 months ago #692353 by Alex
Taking a snapshot of something pretty is one thing, but telling a story about what you’re photographing is something entirely different. Creating a story with your image gives the photo more meaning and depth. It helps take viewers on a journey through the shot and evokes feelings and emotions in a way that a simple snapshot just can’t pull off. In this video, we’ll talk about some actionable steps you can take to master the art of telling stories with your photos.

Thank you, watched this video this morning.  Something that as a beginner I really need to learn and understand.  Honestly speaking there are a lot of things I need to focus on.  But this was a helpful video.
