Compostion
Light - golden hour
But how do I capture this mountain? There is no right or wrong in photography, it is taste and a choice. We all see the same mountain, but we can all capture it in a different way. This is where the use of composition comes into play. In storytelling photography you learn to look differently because you actually want to tell something with your image(s). Which story do you capture in your frame?
Quadriptych - double layers
What makes storytelling travel photography so special? You can really take someone into the emotion, atmosphere and feeling during that journey. By taking a series of photos and adding diversity, you create the story from multiple layers and therefore even more story. Because we can never have enough stories, right?! We use double layers and multiple subjects here. What will your series be about?
Creative - reflection, snow, vistas
Creativity, this goes hand in hand with creating stories. The more creative, the more interesting for the viewer to keep watching. Naturally, you want to keep the viewer's attention. The mountain environment gives us plenty of opportunity to be creative. Think of reflections, views and perhaps snow!?
Editing - colors - presets
Okay, then you finally have your story, but how do you get it as a whole? Post-processing is very important here. The use of color creates one story. You immediately get the feeling that the series of photos belong together when they are edited in the same style. We would also like to include you in this, because we do not do half work.
Beautiful workbook
To bundle everything together nicely and reread all the knowledge you have acquired, we will provide you with a great workbook. You can leave your notes here and we have processed some additional assignments for you. We are never done learning!
