THOUGHTS ON STORYTELLING FROM THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHERS

PROOF

This weeks storytelling insight comes from the photographers at National Geographic. If anyone can tell a story with images it would be these people. If you're a photographer, the entire video is great. In regards to storytelling though, I especially liked one nugget of information. "Don't push the reader away. Pull them in and raise more questions."

This plays into some of the past thoughts I've shared on storytelling, namely that you should involve your audience in the story and allow them to make it their own.

Who are National Geographic photographers? To honor 125 years of photography, we turn the (video) camera on our colleagues and get to know the people behind some of the most celebrated photographs in the world.
