| Guide to shooting a Photo Essay
Photos:
Ideally, you should take a variety of photographs. In fact, it is best to plan the story before you start. A good first photo would be one that introduces the subject to the readers.
Make sure you take some close-up photos as well as some wider pictures to show the subject's environment but remember to include something in the foreground to add impact.
When you take the picture, remember to look up or down to see what's around you. You might get a better shot if you kneel, or find a position to look down from.
The completed photo essay will have no more than 10 photographs, but you can send us more to choose from.
Make sure you have permission from anyone pictured before submitting the photographs and tell them that you will share them with World Bible School.
Words:
Each picture should have a caption.
Who, what, why, where and when is a good place to start when gathering information for the caption. Quotations from those pictured and a description of how you feel about the subject will help bring the essay to life.
Please try to limit your captions to around 50 words. |
