Narrative photography is a form of picture-taking which helps individuals express emotions, ideas, sights, and experiences through storytelling. Narrative photographers must pay particular attention to structuring a story so its audience is able to follow it, understand it, and relate to its themes; some basic outlines include symbolism, sequence, contrast, environment and chronicles.

Preparation

Diaries are typically an account of what happens in one day; from routine happenings and unusual occurrences to emotions, thoughts, actions, reactions and opinions written chronologically. Applying this definition to photo journaling means recording daily happenings as pictures to create an in-depth story that captures experiences, feelings and emotions in meaningful way.

Photo storytelling can be daunting if you have never done it before, especially if this is your first attempt at it. The sheer volume of images produced each day–screenshots on your phone, memory card photos and Instagram posts as well as postcards or pages from magazines as well as physical objects like postcards can become overwhelming – can become dauntingly hugely overwhelming at first. But once you begin this project you might just find that it quickly pays dividends!
