Using Your Photos to Tell a Story
Ian PlantDescription
Street photography is about telling the story of your subject, whether it be a person or a place. In this video, professional photographer Ian Plant shows you his own photographs of one particular story.
He takes you to a neighborhood bar that features its own Ferris wheel and shows you his photographic results. Ian says, “It pays to work with your subjects, be patient, get in the mix.” He suggests you wait for that decisive moment when your subject does something revealing, a look, a glance, or a smile.
Join pro shooter Ian Plant for ideas on how to tell compelling stories with your own photographs.
