Sometime you happen to shoot one image and it already tells a story. Failing that, a more bullet-proof way to present a narrative is to shoot a collection of photos, as opposed to one technically perfect and visually beautiful photo, argues Darren Rowse.

The collection should include a variety of angles and perspectives, e.g.: setting the scene shot introducing the scene and subject(s); mid-range shots using a wider angle; powerful portraits; close-up shots of little details; 'outside-of-the-box' shots using unusual perspective or angle; action shots; closing shots offering the audience a sense of closure.

This makes a lot of sense, whether you shoot a wedding, an events or a character study. All you need is a blog to present your photographic stories to the world...
