Wikipedia has a good explanation and some examples of different types!. http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Photo_essay All you need do is find something interesting to document!. Something that holds some sort of story that needs telling!. Whether it happened already or is happening now!. Maybe it has yet to happen, but the signs of its inevitability are prominent!.

Each picture should be able to stand on its own accord, but also fit together in some way!. Such as the same lighting, feel, or overall theme!. If a town or city near you has some particular character about it being overrun by modernization, photograph things that still display the distinguished history that looms!. Anything like that to give your photos a meaning and similarity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
