Reportage Photography: How to Take Gripping Reportage That Tells Stories
Summary
So your intro photo should make it clear whether the reportage is about a street protest, a concert, a sporting event, or for example a wedding. Static photos can include for example portraits that let your audience read a person’s expression and see what emotions the event is evoking in them. Try deliberately working with a series’ dynamics, not racing at breakneck pace to the goal, but rather stepping off the gas for a bit and interrupting an action-packed story with a picturee that lets your audience take a breather and enjoy the given place or event. Or an empty cage in a series about volunteers releasing predators back into the wild after they’ve recovered from injuries. If you’re photographing a demonstration, and your last photo is a city square full of broken bottles, torn-out cobblestones and damaged shop windows, you’re pointing to the demonstration’s violence.
