The process of Photo Essay - by using EDFAT:-
EDFAT method is used in photojournalism and social documentary to help create a platform for visual photo essay. By using this method the photographer will proceed to find the right frame that is creative and will complete an overview of images displayed in that essay.
Practitioners / Photographers who use the Storytelling Process:-
John Stanmeyer:-
John's photography is mostly storytelling related since most of his work is for national geographic. I like his storytelling photography because it describes the event he has taken a picture of.
In picture 1 Stanmeyer has taken a close up shot of a after war scene with lots people really close to a barbwire fence. This cold indicate a storytelling process by using frame with in a frame because of the close up shot and also they are behind the barbwire.
In picture 2 Stanmeyer has taken a shot from a distance with lots of people snaking up the hill. This shows leading of lines because all the people are walking up the hill to the cross to be united.
Vivian Mayer:-
Vivian's photography is very personal but very storytelling of her own life in a sense because she is walking and photographing her daily life. Her photographs suggest the thoughts and feelings of the public in the picture. Vivian is naturally using composition in most of her photographs she has taken.
In picture 1, Mayer uses rule of thirds to show the focus point of the two people walking from each other. Picture 2 shows a similar style, but in this you can see reflections of the windows of the right which shows frame within a frame and leading lines.
The World Through my Eyes - Plan:-
My idea is taking pictures of the architecture of the Town of Southport, this includes, Birkdale, Churchtown and of course Lord Street. I will be using my Canon EOL 100d SLR camera.
