photo story
Images tell tale
A photo story is a narrative told primarily through a sequence of photographs, often with captions or minimal text.
The format appears in journalism, documentary work, and social media, where images carry the storytelling burden: She created a photo story documenting her grandmother's daily routine.
Also called a photo essay, though photo stories tend to emphasize narrative sequence over thematic exploration.
