Photo Essay

Photo Essay: To me, I think that a photo essay is a series of photos that together becomes a story.

There are different types of shots:

Medium Shot:

A medium shot is an image that get's closer to the action, and generally tell what the story is about. in medium shots the subject is generally shot from the waist up.

Low Angle shot:

A low angle shot is take from below the subject of the photograph, this has a impact on making the subject more powerful such as the photograph which makes the girl look much bigger than she is.

High Angle Shot:

A High angle shot is taken from above the subject of the focus, this can have the effect on showing more of whats been looked at and makes the viewer of the photograph look much more powerful like looking over the image.

Detailed Shot:

The detailed shot is a much closer photograph, which is a tighter detail that are relevant to the story. In the photo below the detailed shot is the topping of the donut.

Close up shot:

The close up shot, or portrait shot is the subject of the picture that is in focus, the photos are mostly from the head down to the neck.
