Photographs Tell Stories

It is important to tell a story through pictures when documenting an event. Picture stories are like all stories. They have a beginning and a middle to guide people through the experience. You want them to feel like they were there even if they aren’t. It will remind them in intimate and loving detail of what they experienced if they were there. There are many holidays that people celebrate during the year. Let’s just say Christmas is one of the most popular because most people are familiar with the events surrounding it.

1. You should check your gear. Make sure that you have enough battery life and sufficient space on your memory cards. Although a tripod can be cumbersome, it is worth the weight.

2. You can let people know what your plans are for the photos.

The Beginning, Middle And End

Every story has an introduction, main event, and conclusion. This means that the photographer must capture photos of each phase.

The Beginning

There are many types of photos that can be used to anchor your story when you photograph your event. These photos are known as establishing shots. They include portraits, detail photos and photos taken before the event or preparation. These establishing shots are the start of your story. These shots not only introduce your story to the viewer, but also set the tone for your story. You can capture an event best if you arrive early enough to be there at least one hour before it starts. Start putting together your story/day by taking establishing photos. These photos will establish the location and time for your photography documentation. These will help you to place the rest of your photos in the right context so that you can use them later.
