A photo essay is very simply a collection of images that are placed in a specific order to tell the progression of events, emotions, and concepts. A photo essay is a set or series of photographs that are intended to tell a story or evoke a series of emotions in the viewer. Used by world class photojournalists such as Lauren Greenfield and James Nachtwey, and Joachim Ladefoged to name a few, the photo essay takes the same story telling techniques as a normal essay, translated into visual images.Now more than ever, the power of storytelling ought to be harnessed. But telling a story with photos takes more than just a skillful photographer. An impacting photo story can only be developed by a person who understands the emotions and concepts behind ever-great story.
