What are Visual Stories?
'Visual Stories' is a research project I have chosen to complete for a school assignment. When asked to think of a topic or a question to research, I immediately jumped to photography. Photography is one of the things I love most. It gives us the power to capture a moment and keep a memory. Within photography, I asked myself, what is the thing that you understand least about? That's when storytelling came to mind. As a very artsy person, I was very familiar with storytelling. I tell stories through music, dance, writing, photography, etc. I tell all kinds of stories everyday, and I always have more stories to share. But I didn't really fully understand how to tell stories through photography. So rolled up my sleeves and started working. I went into the beginning of this research thinking that it was about how you can tell stories through photography, and I most definitely found answers in that. But I also discovered that its also about what story a photo will tell. Every photo tells a story, no matter if the story is intentional. So, I hope you enjoy my research!
