Storytelling photography is an image that captures a moment with tension, inspiration, and emotions. It tells the story of your subject matter without using motion pictures or words.
WHY IS STORYTELLING IMPORTANT IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Usually, a simple image only gives random information or facts, while a storytelling image inspires people, makes them think, and connects with their emotions. In other words, it can have a bigger impact. It is quite challenging to create such an image that tells a unique story.
The images you capture and the story are sometimes not just about you. Perhaps you want to shine a light on a social issue or an injustice. In these situations, using images that evoke strong emotions through storytelling photography, can make social changes or compel people to change perspective about the issue.
