Here's an excerpt from a really valuable article by my former tutor Patrick Sutherland. Link to the whole article below.
http://societyforvisualanthropology.org/2016/11/var-supplements-patrick-sutherland-learning-documentary-photography-constructing-photo-essays-groups-photographs/


From my experience, the final form of an essay often emerges from a process neither entirely rational nor completely controlled.  It is of course really important to understand the individual images you are selecting, to know why they are effective and what they contribute to a larger grouping.  However, subtle and unpredicted visual and narrative connections appear between images randomly placed next to each other when editing. Shifts of meaning occur when the structure and sequence of a narrative is changed: a different ordering of the same group of images changes the overall visual statement. By altering the placement of an image in a sequence, you alter the interrelationship between the images. By changing the size of individual images in the wider grouping you are changing the emphasis placed upon these images within the overall narrative construction. Such interplay involves not just the rational grouping of images by subject matter and theme but the emotive connections made between images in terms of their mood and tone. It is always informative to pair images together and see what happens when they are viewed in context with each another. Unexpected formal connections emerge: visual elements echoing each other or the dynamics of gesture and graphic shape that lead from one image to another within a layout.]]> 2019-10-02 21:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahetonner/fmp/wish/392746029 sarahetonner https://padlet.com/sarahetonner/fmp/wish/478347819 this is just a phone pic]]> 2020-03-27 13:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahetonner/fmp/wish/478347819 sarahetonner https://padlet.com/sarahetonner/fmp/wish/504954431 William Eggleston said a good photo should work upside down as well as the right way up.

It's a good exercise for forcing you to find something to take a picture of when you don' think there's anything to photograph. I'll post some of them here.
