The Photo Essay-
A photo essay (or "photographic essay") is a set or series of photographs that are intended to tell a story or evoke a series of emotions in the viewer. A photo essay will often show pictures in deep emotional stages. Photo essays range from purely photographic works to photographs with captions or small notes to full text essays with a few or many accompanying photographs. See Wikipedia.
Your Photo Essay is to be of seven or more photos that document a real life story or inform about a real issue. You are to have an introduction first (1-2 photos), a body of information (2-3 photos), and a conclusion (2-3 photos). Your images should be composed in an eye catching way. Each image should be a vital part of the story telling. The exposure, use of shutter and depth of field should work to tell your story.
