Hey photographers, let's talk about this... [Home]( This is Why Storytelling is Important to Your Photography Grab the [Effective Storytelling Guide]( today to master the storytelling aspect of photography and learn how to instill it in your photos (but read the tips below first!). –– Storytelling is the oldest form of human communication. In photography, storytelling adds an additional element to your photo that creates interest beyond being just a picture. When the story is strong enough, it even trumps technical quality in a photograph. This is something that many photographers don’t understand. They spend a huge amount of energy working on the technical, which is important, but they ignore the message. If your photograph has no message, it will be forgotten immediately. Always remember that a key element to a good story is drama, and drama is created by conflict. For the photographer, conflict can be a visual element within a composition that creates tension. The reason that storytelling works so well is that it engages two important aspects of the human mind: memory retention and the need for entertainment. Developing storytelling as a photographic skill requires practice that eventually helps you discover your style. This is what will set you apart from everyone else. When you become proficient at storytelling with your photography, your images will become valuable and be totally accredited to you, because no one else sees the world exactly as you do.
