Three Tips for Telling a Story With Every Image
Do you want to capture meaningful images that show more of life’s moments than just who was there? Whether you’re using a professional camera or just a phone, these three tips will help you elevate any image. Anyone can snap pictures of friends and family, but capturing genuine moments and telling a story can be trickier. Follow these three tips to make taking pictures fun again, and say goodbye to the eye rolls!
One: Don't Interrupt
Try not to stop the moment. While eye contact is great, sometimes our favorite images end up being the ones filled with emotions. Let people laugh, cry, or act all crazy for a minute. You’ll be able to get a cute smily picture afterwards.
Two: Prioritize Composition
The surroundings are the setting for the story. Everything that you include or exclude from the image is an artistic choice. The composition of the image creates the framework through which the story of the image is conveyed.
Three: Encourage the Natural
As the one with a camera, your job is to help people forget the camera is there. Encourage them to interact naturally (play, move, laugh) instead of just standing still and saying cheese. Create an atmosphere that lets them either return to what they were doing or respond with genuine emotion to your prompts.
