Photographic Storytelling

Back at Canons House last week for a workshop on Photographic Storytelling. It sounds maybe grander than it is, but through 20 odd years of editorial commissions I realise that so many of my jobs entail creating a narrative from a number of images rather than just a ‘hero’ shot.

So I gathered some recent work that I consider portraits that tell a bit more of a story as well as the reportage features that always ask for a change in pace and style.

I was hoping those in attendance would see their snaps from holidays or weekends away could be viewed as more important than a search for one image worthy of a framed print (as many often were thinking.) A selection gathered from these moments can really create marvellous stories from our nearest and often overlooked environments
