Tell a Story Questions


1.  In the world that surrounds you what do you observe during the day that may tell a story? I think that really every person you see during the day tells a story. Everyone has things from their past and experiences that shape who they are. That is one of the reasons it is so important not to assume certain things about people and judge them because you don’t know what has caused them to do that.
2.  How would you prepare yourself as a photographer to create images that tell a story? Well taking images that tell a story was one of the things we had to photograph. The hardest part about that was working up the courage to ask people to take pictures of them. The best thing a photographer can do is just be nice and genuine when approaching someone they would like to photograph and actually talk to them instead of just taking their picture.
3.  Describe three memories that you wish had been photographed by a documentary photographer. Three memories that I wish were photographed by a documentary photographer are Jesus’ life and death, the origins of music and the earliest musicians, and life as a hunter and gatherer.
4.  Bring in an image from your childhood or family album that tells a story to share with the class.
