How to creat a photo story?

The main thing that distinguishes a Photo Story from a simple photo shoot is the plot. The plot is a sequence of events, interactions of the heroes, in which their characters are shown, and therefore revealing the idea of the story.

Starts with the character. In this definition, there is already a hint about how to make up a story, and this starts with the character! Find an image that inspires you and take a shot at your fantasy — in what situations and under what circumstances can it be shown the most expressively?

Additionally, in order for the story to be interesting, organizer need subtext and conflict. The subtext is the hidden motives, desires, or the overall goal of the character: something directing him/her and explaining his/her actions. And the conflict consists of the external or internal factors that prevent the hero from achieving his or her goal. These factors can be either opponents, anti-heroes, or the personality traits of your hero (i.e., insecurity, fear, etc.). The personality traits of your hero will be shown the best only during a confrontation with the anti-hero or internal barriers!

How to tell a story in photos?

Use as many cinematic tricks as you can!
The alternation of general and major plans convey the atmosphere of the situation; shots on which characters are shown in motion give the dynamics; cinematic perspectives do not show the appearance of your models, but their emotions.

General criteria for selecting the jury:

• Originality and consistency of the plot
• Directing skills and acting
• Artistic qualities of the visual series: composition, work with light, color, etc.
• Post-production quality
• Quality soundtrack (for the Cinematic Story)

The winners of the contest will be announced at January 8, 2019! The stories that won the Grand Prize and the Users Choice will be advertised on the site’s banners and available for public viewing on this page for the month! There is no entry fee to participate!
