Photography Study 11366: A Sequence of Images

Study how a group of photographs creates a reading that no single frame supplies. Work with opening, development, and a change of scale.

Choose an opening

Select an image that establishes the subject or visual question. It need not be the most dramatic photograph if another frame gives a clearer way into the sequence.

Vary the information

Combine a broad view, a closer observation, and a detail. Remove frames that repeat the same point without changing the viewer's understanding.

Test the order

Swap two photographs and read the sequence again. Notice how expectation and emphasis change even though the individual images remain identical.
