The Photo essay is a collection of images that are stylistically or thematically unified in order to tell a story. We will explore the idea of story and how to capture the audience and tell a particular tale. The class will cover basic photography, and the students will be able to tell a fiction or non-fiction story. The class will shoot on 35mm cameras, and we will critique and discuss each other’s work, as well as looking at master photographers’ works and essayists. The year will end with a final gallery showing of the students’ work.

This story is very effective because of the photographer's use of contrast. The juxtaposition of old and new really drives the message across. For my story I would like to use this idea of contrasting images side by side. However, I think I will write a fictional story (e.g. three women) rather than follow this photographer's documentary approach.
