Visual Storytelling – Details, episodes & analysis

When we think of documentary photography, we often picture people in motion — events unfolding, moments captured in real time. But there’s another side to this storytelling approach.

Welcome to the Visual Storytelling podcast.  Let’s discuss a side of documentary photography that people often forget. 

If you enjoy this podcast, and would like to listen to more topics, just like this one, then why not consider following the Visual Storytelling Podcast, so as not to miss out on, not only new episodes, but catch up on previous episodes you may have missed, or simply wish to listen to again. 

Until next time, 

Be Creative. Be Inspired. Be You.

If you’re new to making videos I discuss the below five essential shots that need to be on your list that will make your videos stand out.

Here is your shot list.

1 establishing shot.

2 wide / medium shots.

2 close up shots.

1 abstract shot; and

1 unexpected shot.

As I said, this shot list will be a good place to start. There is of course SOOOOO much more that goes into creating captivating videos, and this is something that you will need to explore and experiment with depending upon your style.

I’ll leave my social handles in the description.

Welcome to the Visual Storytelling podcast. In this episode I discuss the disadvantages of telephoto lenses. Don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom as I also touch upon some of the advantages and their key benefits.

If you’re in the market for a telephoto lens, my recommendation would be to try before you buy.  Do your due diligence before hand, understand why you need one and then research the best telephoto that suits your requirements, then hire one over the course of a few days to see whether you were right.  This way you save yourself a lot of time and money.

This episode was inspired by a post I saw on Facebook and the comments about the photo's shared.

New kit being used to record the sound in this episode, and all future episodes were the Rode NT1-A microphone with the SM6 shock mount & pop filter, as well as the Scarlett solo Audio Interface.

Finding the edge over your competitors when it comes to visual marketing can be a real battle.  Incorporating the right colours can set you apart.  In this episode I reveal the colours mostly associated with Christmas to allow you to gain that competitive edge.

There will be times when inspiration is lacking. You have the drive to get out there with your camera in hand and want to be creative, but the heart and head just aren't in sync.  Hopefully this quick episode will help spark something creative within.

At the time of recording this the weather in the UK was raining, and whilst this may be stereotypical of the UK, and not something that would usually deter us Brits form getting outside regardless, there are those days where you just don't fancy it.  But this isn't to say that you can't still be creative with the camera.  There are plenty of opportunities around the house, you just have to look.

Be Creative. Be Inspired. Be You.

With all the noise that is present today, I decided to pause, evaluate what my goals were and how I thought best to achieve them.  The first step in achieving this was to hit the reset button.

Hello everyone, this episode is an (audio) extract from a video I put together, targeted mainly towards my connections on LinkedIn, as I had noticed that a lot of them were repeating the same mistakes time after time, so I thought I'd step in and help explain how they could achieve better engagement when recording themselves.

I thought long and hard about changing the name of the podcast. Deciding I was going to, only to change my mind.  Well, I finally decided to do it and I talk about why in this episode.
