How to make a story?

[ThangNguyen]

Hi,
I have just had a contest with my friends about making a stories with photos. And I understand that I don't know anything about it. I cannot link my photos to have a content. Could you please tell me how I should learn about this? Is there any book tell about this?

Thank you so much!
Thang

Short form:
-shoot everything, edit later
-be sure to get a balance of long, medium, short, and detail shots
-don't forget anyone important
-don't forget anyone unimportant
-shoot everything that moves, and what doesn't, too

And the most important thing is that you need to be able to look at a picture and forget what YOU know about it, seeing only what another person will see, then choose pix according to that. (That goes for ALL photography.)
