Get pickier.<\/summary>\nThis means to be intentional with your photography, especially composition. I already pay attention to this in my photography as a digital artist.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nBetter contrast makes better stories. <\/summary>\nThis means that things that stand pairing opposites make good photos. By following this advice, I can make my images interesting by looking for opposites, like light and dark colors. I already know about this topic as contrast is important in disability studies, but I had not considered contrast beyond colors or lighting before.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nChange the audience’s perspective by changing yours.<\/summary>\nThis means to create photos with unique perspectives to pull the audience in. By following this advice, I can photograph things from worm’s eye or bird’s eye view among other angles. This concept is one that I generally don’t do in my photography already. I tend to photograph from straight-on, and I tend to photograph wide shots. As such, I can improve my photography with variety.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nCreate depth. <\/summary>\nThis means creating a more interesting shot by making it go beyond a 2D perspective. An example of this is a photograph of chalk art that looks 3D. This concept is one that I do not do in my photography already as it is new to me.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nGet balanced. <\/summary>\nThis means to balance elements that draw attention. By following this advice, I can guide the eye. This concept is one that I try to follow in my own photography already, but I need more experience with.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nPay attention to movement. <\/summary>\nThis means to pay attention to possible movement in the shot. By following this advice, I can photograph an animal as it moves. This concept is one that I do not use often in my photography because I photograph still objects.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nLook to the light. <\/summary>\nThis means to pay attention to how lighting will affect a photo. By following this advice, the focus of a photo can be accentuated. This concept is one that I try to follow in my photography already, but I need more experience with.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nUse the best lens.<\/summary>\nThis means to pay attention to which camera is best for the purpose of the photograph. This concept is one that I do not use in my photography because I only use my phone’s camera. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nExpose for aesthetics. <\/summary>\nThis means to understand technical skills to better control your photos. This concept is one that I do not use in my photography because I use my phone’s camera, but I can improve this skill by understanding the technical information about it.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nPut a great foreground in front, attention at background.<\/summary>\nThis means that it is important to pay attention to the balance of the foreground and background. By following this advice, the image will be more interesting to look at overall. This concept is one that I try to follow in my photography already, but I need more experience with.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
Resources about Photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are three more resources that can be used to understand visual storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Becoming a Better Photographer<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are two strategies about photography in this article that stood out to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHow a photo should be intentional.<\/summary>\nThis strategy stood out to me because it’s something writers talk about a lot. Things should be framed a certain way for a reason. This can relate back to duChemin because many of the concepts that duChemin mentions are the result of being intentional with your work.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nHow a photo is a significant moment frozen in time. <\/summary>\nThis strategy was central to what a visual narrative is. It is a full story told in a single frame with a unique view, issues, and emotions. This relates back to duChemin because duChemin’s concepts are creating this story.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
What is Visual Literacy?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nVisual literacy is our ability to understand all of the images we see. This is relevant to photography because photography is visual media. The way to understand the meaning of a photo is through strong visual literacy skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, it is important to be visually literate to create visual stories. By understanding how others create meaning out of images, you can imbue images with stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Story Behind…”Migrant Mother”<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe thing that made “Migrant Mother” so powerful was the story of the picture. The photo shows the horrible reality of the Great Depression which gave the photo an important meaning behind it. If you add the technical aspects of the color scheme and the composition, the meaning is enhanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the story behind a photo helps those studying visual storytelling understand possible uses of techniques. That understanding will improve your ability to tell a visual narrative. For example, knowing how the black-and-white image makes the audience feel hopeless can help create a similar feeling in your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These two images show the concepts from duChemin well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/ds106.acemolloy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Clouds-1024x768.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe first has a good composition, good perspective, and good balance of foreground and background. The composition is following the rule of thirds, and the foreground is detailed enough without drawing attention away from the clouds. The perspective is nice; it shows the story of taking a moment to look away from the bustle of people to appreciate nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ds106.acemolloy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tree-1024x768.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe second has a good composition, good contrast, and good lighting. The composition has the subject in the center. The contrast between the red buildings and green tree is good. Finally, the lighting is interesting with half the tree illuminated and half in shadow. There is a less clear story in this photo, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lessons of this assignment will help me create even better photos. One concept that I am interested in is making interesting perspectives. Intentionality is really an important takeaway from this lesson that I will use to make visual stories. Knowing the rules is important, but knowing when to break them is even more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many of the concepts and techniques of photography boil down to being intentional. This is something I try to do, but visual storytelling tells why that is important. You cannot make a photo say something if there aren’t intentional choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call to Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You have hopefully learned something too. More than anything, practice is important for creating an eye for photos. Hopefully, you will experiment and learn more by taking photos. Please experiment with duChemin’s concepts in your own photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Visual Literacy?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nVisual literacy is our ability to understand all of the images we see. This is relevant to photography because photography is visual media. The way to understand the meaning of a photo is through strong visual literacy skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, it is important to be visually literate to create visual stories. By understanding how others create meaning out of images, you can imbue images with stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Story Behind…”Migrant Mother”<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe thing that made “Migrant Mother” so powerful was the story of the picture. The photo shows the horrible reality of the Great Depression which gave the photo an important meaning behind it. If you add the technical aspects of the color scheme and the composition, the meaning is enhanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the story behind a photo helps those studying visual storytelling understand possible uses of techniques. That understanding will improve your ability to tell a visual narrative. For example, knowing how the black-and-white image makes the audience feel hopeless can help create a similar feeling in your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These two images show the concepts from duChemin well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe first has a good composition, good perspective, and good balance of foreground and background. The composition is following the rule of thirds, and the foreground is detailed enough without drawing attention away from the clouds. The perspective is nice; it shows the story of taking a moment to look away from the bustle of people to appreciate nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe second has a good composition, good contrast, and good lighting. The composition has the subject in the center. The contrast between the red buildings and green tree is good. Finally, the lighting is interesting with half the tree illuminated and half in shadow. There is a less clear story in this photo, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lessons of this assignment will help me create even better photos. One concept that I am interested in is making interesting perspectives. Intentionality is really an important takeaway from this lesson that I will use to make visual stories. Knowing the rules is important, but knowing when to break them is even more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many of the concepts and techniques of photography boil down to being intentional. This is something I try to do, but visual storytelling tells why that is important. You cannot make a photo say something if there aren’t intentional choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call to Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You have hopefully learned something too. More than anything, practice is important for creating an eye for photos. Hopefully, you will experiment and learn more by taking photos. Please experiment with duChemin’s concepts in your own photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can relate back to duChemin because many of the concepts that duChemin mentions are the result of being intentional with your work.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nHow a photo is a significant moment frozen in time. <\/summary>\nThis strategy was central to what a visual narrative is. It is a full story told in a single frame with a unique view, issues, and emotions. This relates back to duChemin because duChemin’s concepts are creating this story.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
What is Visual Literacy?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nVisual literacy is our ability to understand all of the images we see. This is relevant to photography because photography is visual media. The way to understand the meaning of a photo is through strong visual literacy skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, it is important to be visually literate to create visual stories. By understanding how others create meaning out of images, you can imbue images with stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Story Behind…”Migrant Mother”<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe thing that made “Migrant Mother” so powerful was the story of the picture. The photo shows the horrible reality of the Great Depression which gave the photo an important meaning behind it. If you add the technical aspects of the color scheme and the composition, the meaning is enhanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the story behind a photo helps those studying visual storytelling understand possible uses of techniques. That understanding will improve your ability to tell a visual narrative. For example, knowing how the black-and-white image makes the audience feel hopeless can help create a similar feeling in your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These two images show the concepts from duChemin well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe first has a good composition, good perspective, and good balance of foreground and background. The composition is following the rule of thirds, and the foreground is detailed enough without drawing attention away from the clouds. The perspective is nice; it shows the story of taking a moment to look away from the bustle of people to appreciate nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe second has a good composition, good contrast, and good lighting. The composition has the subject in the center. The contrast between the red buildings and green tree is good. Finally, the lighting is interesting with half the tree illuminated and half in shadow. There is a less clear story in this photo, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lessons of this assignment will help me create even better photos. One concept that I am interested in is making interesting perspectives. Intentionality is really an important takeaway from this lesson that I will use to make visual stories. Knowing the rules is important, but knowing when to break them is even more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many of the concepts and techniques of photography boil down to being intentional. This is something I try to do, but visual storytelling tells why that is important. You cannot make a photo say something if there aren’t intentional choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call to Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You have hopefully learned something too. More than anything, practice is important for creating an eye for photos. Hopefully, you will experiment and learn more by taking photos. Please experiment with duChemin’s concepts in your own photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
