13. 1. Find a topic:
Photo essays are most dynamic when you as the photographer care about the subject.

14. 2. Do your research
If you photograph a school dance, check out the theme, the decorations they plan on using.. All of these factors will help you in planning out the type of shots you set up for your story.

15. 3. Find the “real story”:
After your research, you can determine the angle you want to take your story.

16. 4. Every dynamic story is built on a set of core values and emotions that touch the heart of its audience.
Anger. Joy. Fear. Hurt. Excitement. The best way you can connect your photo essay with its audience is to draw out the emotions within the story and utilize them in your shots.

17. 5.Plan your shots:
Whether you decide to sit down and extensively visualize each shot of the story, or simply walk through the venue in your mind, you will want to think about the type of shots that will work best to tell your story. I recommend beginners first start out by creating a “shot list” for the story.
