Create A Story

Rather than capturing your subject in one image, try a series instead. A series of a single subject, pinpointing different aspects. This can be simply zooming in to focus on it's finer details, or photographing it in different contexts/backgrounds. Creating a story defines the subject not just how it appears in a single moment, but how it changes and stays the same over several moments. This may also help you with lighting attention and craft in your story telling abilities!

Now, choose one subject and cover it completely, like a journalist would. This is where photojournalism comes into play! ;) Do this by photographing every aspect you can think of and throughout the day, week, or month. Include shots at different distances and using different focal lengths, include some close-up details and some wide compositions. After doing this comes one of my hardest tasks of minimizing images to a final ten which none are alike. Now that the images are picked place them in an order to tell a story. Subject matter example inspiration can be as little as a ball or as large as a town. Create and Tell A Story!
