The Storytelling Power of Photography

The Storytelling Power of Photography | Renée Byer


 “For me, photography isn’t a profession—it goes much, much deeper than that. I have an innate curiosity that drives me beyond the obvious.”

“I’m passionate about photojournalism and the power of the enduring, still image to inform and bring understanding to issues. 

“In this fast-paced world, where the emphasis is on immediacy, a still photograph stops time. It gives the viewer a moment to think, to react, to feel.”

— Renée Byer

The general photograph you might take is just a simple landscape (horizontal) shot of him, which might have clutter on the left and right of the frame. You then subtract from the left and right of the frame by shooting a vertical (portrait) photograph. Now you have a much simpler image: you have subtracted the clutter on the left and right of the frame. You realize that you don’t need to include his legs in the frame. So you take a step closer, and you frame the scene horizontally. Now you only have a photograph of his waist to the top of his head...
