The Power Ballad, The Medley, And Photo Presentation f/44

I think many of us are the types of photographers that seek the single image. Most of my photo outings are with a single frame mindset - capture the shot. That one perfect frame that captures the essence of a place or a pristine moment in time. I certainly fall squarely into that camp. If I were a musician, my goal would be to write the next great power ballad.

There is, however, another approach - a body of work. A set of images that stand together to tell a story. To continue the musical analogy, it’s a visual medley, a photo essay. And a collection of images can tell a richer story than just the single image.

In today’s podcast, let’s talk about presenting a series of photographs as a set. I also share a personal story of what led me to want to talk about this subject. The result is the six photos you see on the episode webpage.
