Every Picture Tells a Story: The Art of Narrative Photography (55+)
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what is the narrative value of a series of photographs? We will take a journey from the photo-essays ofLIFE and Look magazines of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, to today’s visual storytellers, who use new technology to tell stories with the still image.
On the way we will explore the potential of photography as a narrative tool for telling our own stories. We will consider not only what makes an exceptional photograph but also how to build a series of photographs to create a story. Each week we will look at another aspect of narrative photography. Through a series of short photographic exercises we will further our inquiry into using photography for storytelling.
