JOHN PAUL CAPONIGRO
“Photography and the Art of Storytelling”
Every picture tells a story and every visual storyteller has the capability to tell theirs uniquely. You are what makes your images unique. Tell your stories and you’ll find your voice.
In this seminar we’ll explore ways of developing your personal vision and style. We’ll discuss the difference between angle of view and point of view. The frame is a stage so what populates and animates it? Different storytelling structures will be compared and contrasted giving you more skills to work with. We’ll clarify different strategies for creating compelling relationships between images through arranging and sequencing with the goal of developing a cohesive body of work that makes a statement.
