you won’t have your symbol or wedding client
in a truly peculiar environment or telling some extravagant
story. Instead, the
interest in the image’s content enables the viewer’s mind to
explore the
likelihood of the story within the image.
The images in Figure 1. 7 involve storytelling at the most
basic level. I took
a series of portraits of this woman at a local farm. In one
shot she held a
pitchfork to show her as a working farm girl. Another shot
showed her reading
a book in a haystack. The story in the images depicts a
beautiful farm girl
expected to help run the household farm. She works close by
the farm,
handling tasks, but her heart is not necessarily in it. What
she truly enjoys is
getting out of into the haystacks, hiding from her duties,
and diving deep into a
book. Here she can escape and pass the hot summer days in
her thoughts,
thinking of far-off places or a different time in history.
This reading into the images may be a bit high, but that’s
the idea of
storytelling. You invite the reader to finish the story you
have initiated in his mind
and engage him with your images. These two basic images set
out to paint a
detailed story.
