Telling a story in 100 frames.
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under me, school
My first photo story assignment back at OU had the class and I trying to tell a story from an event by shooting no more than 100 frames and with every frame being from a different angle/situation.
The whole idea of every frame being different wasn’t the easiest thing for me to do since as photojournalists we cherish the moment like peanut butter does bread. Normally we’re taught to work a situation until the moment falls off or we capture what we’re after.
As one song by Eminem goes you only have one shot, one opportunity(or something like that) to capture that moment.
I did cheat a time or two as hard as I didn’t want to, but the desire to capture the most telling moment is a hard habit to break.
It turned out to be a nice creative exercise though and a lot cheaper than breaking out of a creative rut by buying new gear.
Here are a few frames from the assignment:
