A visual wedding

July 5, 2009 by pmelcher.

This is a different kind of multimedia. No, not the guy on the radio talking, but what he is talking about. A photographer and a graphic novel artist got together to create a book that mixes photographs and graphics. The graphic story is about the photographer and the photographs are taken by the photographer so that the whole narrative is essentially visual. Since very often in photojournalism, the story of the photographer is almost as important as the stories they photograph, this is a great way to embed each one into the other, with, however, a clear demarcation.
One doesn’t have to rely on text, the antithesis of photography, but rather can surf the flow of the story in a fluid visual format. Just think if magazines had thought about t this. The next step would be to bring this whole experience online.
