In this episode, I chat with Jaime Permuth, an award-winning photographer and professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York. With the tremendous growth in photo sharing (people share 95 million photos on Instagram every day!), I am often asked how can you tell a story in a single photo? With video, it's much easier as it's, in essence, a sequence of images where you can tell a complete story with different characters and scenes. But what you do when you need to compress an entire story into a single scene? I discussed with Jaime about his storytelling approach, the key narrative elements he uses. Jaime also presented a few photos and discussed their backstories and the visual storytelling technique the photographer used. Fascinating discussion!

What you will learn:

  • What was the journey that led you to be involved in photography?

  • What are the key elements that constitute a visual grammar of a photo?

  • How can you use these visual grammar elements to tell a compelling story in a single photo?

  • How do you create an emotional connection between a photo and the audience?

And much more.
