You will choose your 10 best images from the photos you took for your photo essay.
Follow these steps to organize and arrange your images to create a cohesive narrative
that demonstrates both unity and variety as well as a concept or idea.
Notice what elements may be a unifying theme in your photos- texture, words/text, colors, leading lines...
as well as which photos most convey a concept or themes. (Memory, History, Nostalgia, Spirituality,
Humor, Time, Consumption, Urban Decay, Conservation, Man vs Nature, Play, Family, Relationships, Nature/Ecology,
Change, Investigation, Secrets, Illusion, Journey, Travel)
Step Three: Consider the order and create a sequence of images visually:
will your photos be arranged chronologically? big to small? by framing?
Will you arrange your photos considering a beginning middle and end-
(images with focal point on left, then middle, then right)
or, is there anything that can visually lead you from one image to the next?
-Keeping images in color? adjust hue and saturation and/or color balance
-Changing black and white? grayscale, then levels
ALSO>OR:
-Properties (Photo icon) Layer Adjustment
add photo filters- again, keep consistent and have a reason WHY- any filters should enhance and illustrate
your concept or theme.
