From the Back Cover

Basics Creative Photography 02: Context and Narrative introduces students to the use of context and narrative in the creation of photographic images. Many experienced photographers and artists are intuitive in their image-making process, subconsciously using their visual awareness to create, technically produce and edit their work. This ability often develops over many years and can appear misleadingly simple. Context and Narrative explores the structure and method behind the process of constructing a meaningful image, helping students to apply theories to their own photographic work, and identify the significant ingredients which together constitute a successful photograph. This book provides an inspiring look at the way in which context and narrative help shape and form photographs, from the initial idea through to the resulting polished image.
