Context and Narrative by Maria Short

Another incredibly useful text for this module!

Context and Narrative by Maria Short takes you through the various critical aspects of preparing a narrative from:

• The photograph's role in the narrative: its function and context
• Choice of subject, concept and external factors to consider
• Audience: content, intent and response
• The narrative itself - what it is - series/set of photographs / single image
• Use of signs and symbols: theory, enigmas, truths
• Use of text

Although I didn't directly refer to this in my preparation of Assignment One, I did draw on the section on signs and symbols, as a number of my photographs were metaphorical ideas, rather than directly visual representations.
