Photo Story Subjects
Event stories: shows the progression of an event-can include more than the event itself: planning, setup, cleanup,
aftermath
Profile stories: shows progression of a person/group through time-focus on some aspect that makes the person/group unique,
interesting
Trend stories: shows societal trends-most effective on current topics-can also show an aspect of society that the public doesn’t think of-doesn’t necessarily show progression, but images carry common
theme-can be presented as a profile or event story, representative of the
Document entire progression of event-The event itself is the spectacle that everyone sees-Planning, setup can show more about the event organizers-Conclusion photos show the effects of the event
Two common types: general profile and event-based profile

Previous subjects (all fair game):• Archery Decal (interesting classes)• Performances and the groups in them (ballet, theatre troupe, etc.)• ROTC students• Study habits during midterms/finals
