As we continue our examination of photography in journalism, I want us to take a look at how a series of photos come together to tell a story.
Read (at least) three of the photo-essays in this link (http://time.com/4129215/photojournalism-links-november/) and consider the following questions:
- What is the first image in the piece? After reading the photo-essay, why do you think the author chose this image to begin the piece?
- What is the author/photographer's purpose in their photo-essay? In other words, what is the news value?
- How are the photos arranged? Does it represent a collection on a theme or a narrative progression? What is the theme of the collection or what is the arc of the story?
- What inferences can you make about how the photographer interacts with the subject?
- How do the captions contribute to your understanding of the piece? (give examples)
After you are finished reading, choose one of the articles to write about. Create a blog post and respond the the questions above.
