How to take the perfect picture
Photography is a powerful medium that transcends visuals – it’s a narrative that unfolds through the lens.
To enhance the impact of your submissions for the Go Circular Through the Lens challenge, consider the following tips and insights on storytelling:
Capture Emotions
Emotions are the heart of any compelling story. Whether it’s joy, determination, or reflection, aim to capture the emotional essence of your subject.
Focus on Details
Details can tell intricate stories. Zoom in on the finer aspects of your subject, which add layers to your narrative.
Environmental Impact
Convey the environmental impact of circular practices in your photos. Whether it’s recycling initiatives, sustainable architecture, or nature conservation, let your images speak to the positive change these practices bring to the world.
Chronicle Progress
Tell a visual story of progress and evolution. Capture moments that showcase how circular living is contributing to positive change, be it in your community, workplace, or the wider world.
Contextualise Your Story
Accompany each submission with a concise narrative (max 150 words) that contextualises the image. Share the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind your photograph, allowing viewers to connect more deeply with your story.
Inspire Action
Conclude your narrative with an inspirational note. Encourage viewers to consider how they can help accelerate the shift to circular living or reflect on the positive changes they can make in their own lives.
