Presentation Title: Nailing the Narrative – the art and science of engaging a viewer

Presentation Description: We are all wired to connect with and remember stories. We’re surrounded by amazing storytelling – books, movies, TV, songs, dance… and of course photographs. As photographers, to give our audience the best chance of reading and understanding our stories, we need to snag them and keep them engaged. In this session, commercial and fine art photographer Kris Anderson will take you through the techniques he uses to craft engaging narrative-driven images that keep a viewer hooked. He’ll reveal some of the intentional (or unintentional!) choices you can make that either pull a viewer in or push them away, and give you tools to critically analyse your own work. He will probably rock a couple of dad jokes too; sadly these will not be considered grounds for a refund.

Scheduled: Saturday the 10th at 9am

“When you are measuring your own work, there are only two photographers you should compare yourself to – you of a year ago, and you of a year from now. Be better than last-year-you. And know that you can be better still next year.”
