The Extraordinary Power of the Photo

Описание: Every photo captures a story.

Whether that is the intention or not is irrelevant; photographs harbour an inherent ability to capture and store information, hold narratives, and tell stories, be them factual or fictional.

In this video I go through seven photos of my own, spanning from a decade ago at the start of my interest in photography, to photos taken in recent months, and I tell the stories behind them. Some more clear than others, and some that would be impossible to guess from looking.

Whilst this video is somewhat of a fireside story time, it is my hope that you will be able to take away a more whole understanding of the power photographs hold in capturing and telling stories. That way, when you take photos of your own you can more consciously embed them with narratives, and when you look upon photos taken by others, you can see them through a lens of curiosity, and wonder what stories they may hold.


Sound for watching.
