Narrative Photography
Narrative Photography is a specific piece of photography, where an image may resemble or tell a story in the reader's mind.
This picture demonstrates the contrast of emotions that the average human experiences everyday, it shows the highs and lows that we go through throughout the entirety of our life.
Here is a mind-map that I created earlier, where I have brainstormed some brief ideas about what I may or may not do during this project.
*This is not a finished piece or piece, just an idea.

Narrative Idea development.
I have already displayed my earlier Popplet about my ideas behind my narrative photography project, but here is a more in-depth version, where I have focused more on techniques and have found more ideas, this has helped me develop an understanding of the type of Narrative photography that I will be doing.
Photoshoot 1:
After the clocks recently went back, the times of sunrise and sunset have changed, and as my first piece of narrative photography, I have decided to capture the sunset from a room in my house.
Photoshoot 2
In my previous Photoshoot I focuses on sunset via a time lapse, this time I decided to a time lapse of Sunset, as I felt this was a worthy replacement.
Critical Analysis
This photograph is a piece called Chance Meeting, produced by an American artist named Duane Michals.
This piece has a strong narrative, and is has a base subject of homosexuality which was a controversial field of subject, as homosexuality was seen as a taboo in certain states of America. This may be as Duane Michals was himself homo-sexually orientated.
In this picture 2 males that have seemingly never met, cross paths in the middle of an alleyway, however, due to the series of images, and the way in which Duane Michals presents the image, it seems like their is a mysterious factor in the air between these 2 male individuals, and both men turn to get another look at their counterpart, this is shown in the concluding images of the piece.
