Artistic Photography: Create a Visual Narrative

Start the course by getting to know Flora Negri and a little more about her background. She tells you about her journey from studying art in college to eventually telling stories through photography. Discover some of her most acclaimed work, her role models, and the artists that have been the most influential in developing her craft.

Then, explore the possibilities offered by portrait creation and find out how to translate your own experiences into images. Shoot straight for the heart and learn how to express yourself in your work by doing some self-awareness exercises. Study lighting effects and some basic techniques that allow you to evoke specific emotions through your images.

Next, get started on planning your photo essay. Flora takes you through the equipment you need and gives you some great tips for making the best creative use of your technical resources. Put together your set and learn how to direct your portrait protagonists, forming a deep connection that opens up a whole new world of possibilities for your production.

Pick out the best photos to develop your narrative and edit them in Adobe Lightroom. Now you know how to tell a visual story using photography as an effective storytelling tool.
