Narrative Portraits: Assignment 4

The narrative style used in these images is presented in many different ways. It could be used in the props, facial expression, background... Each tells a story in its own special way. For example, the image of James Nachtwey, the subject is simply framed with a neutral background but the scars on the his face speak to us and tells us all about this tragedy. Or the image of all the neo-nazi teenagers, shows us what reality those people live in and how proud and ignorant they look... A narrative image could be constructed in many different techniques depending on the way the light is used and the shadows that are created in relation to the subject, or by the props used or the surrounding. Narrative is also based on the interaction between the main subject and the mood of the image overall.
