What
is the difference between a photo essay and a series of images?
A photo
story is either a set or series of photographs that are made to create a series
of emotions in the viewer the images are placed in a specific order to tell the
progression of events, emotions and concepts, a photo essay often shows in deep
emotion stages which range purely photographic works to photographs with small
captions or comments to illustrate the photographs however, a photo story does
not necessarily have a beginning, middle and ending. Examples of photo essays
include an articles in a publication, a book or other complete publication, a
web page o portion of a website, a single montage or collage of photographic
images with text intended to be viewed both as a whole and as individual photographs
(which may fall in the category of mixed media) in fashion publications
especially a photo-editorial. A series of images allows the photographer to
tell a meaningful story through images in an organic way, this does not require
a specific type of shooting however the images must make sense when put
together in order for the story to make sense this is why in order to make a
series of photos there has to be a plan.
