10 Beginner Storytelling Tips to Quickly Improve Your Photos
Most photos suffer from Postcard Syndrome which is the exact replication of a scene in the frame.
Dull and bland. This is fine for documentation but nothing more than that.
Here are 10 beginner storytelling tips to quickly improve your photos:
Tip #1: Include people
Including people in your photos can help to create a sense of scale and add a human element to the story. Use body language and facial expressions to convey emotions and tell a story.
Tip #2: Show, don’t tell
Instead of explaining the story with words, let the images talk. Use visual cues such as body language and facial expressions to convey emotions and tell your story.
Tip #3: Use symbolism
Incorporate symbolic elements into your photos to add depth and meaning to the story. For example, a lone tree in a barren field can symbolize isolation.
Tip #4: Edit your photos
Post-processing is an essential part of storytelling in photography. Use editing software to adjust colour, contrast, and other settings to make your photos look their best and enhance the story.
