The Secrets of Storytelling Through Images
In an era when images capture readers’ attention more readily than even the most engaging texts, photographers must excel at taking breathtaking individual shots and conveying stories through their pictures.
In my latest book, People I Shot: The Fundamentals of Photojournalism, and six free tutorials, I reveal the secrets of storytelling through images.
My name is David Lewis-Hodgson.
For over twenty years, I worked as a photojournalist based in Fleet Street, and my photographs have been featured in magazines and newspapers around the globe.
In People I Shot, you will discover the importance of:
Key shots. Striking images that grab and retain the viewer’s attention.
Getting close and personal to ensure that distracting backgrounds do not obscure your message.
Every good story has a beginning, a middle, and an end; therefore, your picture stories should adhere to this structure.
Pictures that tell your story through human eyes.
Stories, for example, like this one about a 13-year-old who dived in to rescue his grandfather after his underwater escapology attempt went wrong.
The blind from birth six-year-old whose sight was restored after an operation.
Peter, the teenager who became a champion county cricketer despite losing both legs at three.
Discover these and other essential techniques in
