1. Find a topic: After you choose a topic, for example, a baby's growth, make your photo-essay consist of constant change within your subject.
2. Do your research: Get to know the people and background of which your photo-essay will be about. Make connections with whatever your topic is so it will help you plan for good shots that will tell a story by themselves.
3. Find the "real story": After you do research, focus on the parts of the story that stick out and are different from anyone else's.
4. Every dynamic story is built on a set of core values and emotions that touch the heart of its audience: Use effective emotions in your photos to go along with the story.
5. Plan your shots: Make each of your pictures replace a sentence. Instead of using words for your essay, you're just using pictures, plan them ahead of time so they go in order with your story and doesn't skip any big parts. Beginners are recommended to write sentences before your shoot, then an individual picture for each of your sentences.
