Want To Sell More Photos? Tell ‘Em A Story

I found that having a story with photos, does indeed help to sell them. Not all of my photos have amazing ones, but there are those that need to definitely have the stories handy. Who knows that once the person knows where the photo was taken, they might fill you in about their childhood memories about that place. This may help with sales, but even if it doesn’t, you have brightened that person’s day, by letting them tell you their story. Very fun :)

I agree! I do many of my images in a narrative form. It gives the viewer the more than what meets the eye with just one image. I’ve always been the photographer who likes to create more than one image and to take the viewer through an experience of the subject being photographed.

I feel a series of image can be just as profound as one image.

Some good insight on the approach to the photo narrative.

So very true, the effect of the story, as well as the reason people drink Starbucks Coffee!

I like the three “i’s” you present here. Just wondering how “invite” might be included. Yes? Perhaps it overlaps what you already have. But I’m thinking it comes between “inform” and “involve”.
