College Project - can you help?

Hi guys,

I am doing some research into Narrative, telling a story? I am looking for some ideas on what to do?

I was thinking of photographers who have photographed lets say all the cars they own, or all the beds they have slept in... i hope you catch my drift, im looking for research on them ?

Anyhelp would be great

can't every picture have a narrative though?

only, the very best, won't need one.

food for thought

Are you meaning as in documentary? Robert frank told a narrative with his book The Americans. Stephen Shores "Road Trip" journal is also one.

only, the very best, won't need one.

I disagree. I dont like things being spelled out for me. The best photos are the ones that intrigue you and actually make you think for yourself in my opinion.

a good photo should at least cover 1000 words...narrative

i envisage a product with the way of manufacturing it in the photo

Dunno about that. Some might speak 1,000 words but plenty are in the high 20s max.

I can't immediately call to mind one photograph on my hard drive that replaces 1,000 words of storytelling.

Some are just two:
