photo essay
Pictures tell story
A photo essay is a series of photographs that tells a story or explores a theme, typically with minimal or no accompanying text.
The images are sequenced deliberately to build a narrative or argument: Her photo essay on migrant workers won a journalism award.
Photo essays appear in magazines, galleries, and documentary work, relying on visual progression rather than words to convey meaning.
