PHOTO ESSAY - DEC 15

Photo Essay / Narrative Photography — Instructions

Goal: Create a 10-photo story presented in a slideshow.

Requirements

  • 10 photos that work together to tell a story or express a theme.

  • All photos must have a consistent style (similar lighting, color, composition, and editing).

  • Images can be in chronological order or non-linear, but the sequence should feel intentional.

  • Present your images in a slideshow with a title 

  • Tips

  • Plan your story before shooting.

  • Take many photos and choose the strongest 10.

  • Make sure each photo connects visually and narratively.


Photo Essay Brainstorm Prompt

Write down 2–3 possible story ideas or themes, then choose the one that feels most interesting to photograph.

Think about a story, moment, or theme you can show in 10 photos.

Ask yourself:

  • What emotion, idea, or experience do I want to capture?

  • Who or what is at the center of my story?

  • Where does it take place?

  • Is there a beginning, middle, and end—or is it more about mood or theme?

  • What visual style (lighting, color, perspective) will keep all my photos feeling unified?

  • What part of this project can I complete at school? What part needs to be done elsewhere?
