STORY: What is your story?
Describe in:
- 3 words – Male Identity Story
- A sentence – a story of someone trying to fit in / belong to a group
- A paragraph – I am going to take multiple staged shots of a ‘lads night out’ using only one protagonist repeated throughout all the shots. Some of the photos will be simple and represent a nigh out whereas others will have a deeper meaning emphasizing the powerful moments among friends on a night out.
NARRATIVE: How will you tell your story?
