Answer 1

1. Telling a story in your photo (that follows the rules of journalism) will make your audience connect with your photo and the photo will have more of an effect.

2.

  • A visual story is one, that anyone can understand, it is a form with a mass communication. If the photo has a clear story anyone from any country can get what is going on in the photo. If you get a war photo of a soldier holding another soldier who is dying, to a person from the U.S. and a person from Brazil they will both understand what it happening, no captions needed. 
  • A photo with a story will resonate with you more than an article or someone talking about a story, because you connect with the photo and can see it. If you hear about or read about a huge peace rally you think you know what it looked like or how it could have been. But once you see a photo you can actually see what happened and it makes more of an effect.
