Photos Tell Stories | SOOC se03ep03

Stories are as old as humankind and photography has honoured that from its very beginning. It is the essence of humanity and at the heart of the timeless expression: “a picture is worth a thousand words.” So how are you at storytelling with your camera? Is your game on point? Have you given it a shot? In this episode, storytelling through photography is the theme for the month. It’s all about how compelling and captivating stories can be when told through a camera lens. And although this is the complex task of serious publications like National Geographic, it is also well within the grasp of everyday photographers. Why? Because they, too, are witnessing and even playing a part in stories everyday. It’s just about having an awareness to see them, capture them, and share them. Join us for a photography session dedicated to helping you get a handle on your storytelling photography! Nathalie and Ritchie will showcase a wide range of images to inspire you, suggest gear and camera settings to help you along, recommend Film Simulation Recipes to give you the look you want, and a ton of tips and tricks to use in the month’s challenge.
