The goal is to make the interviewer understand your thought process on the way photography informs or supports storytelling. Discuss how you use storytelling in your photography.

Focus on a good example that shows how you would approach a shoot that needs to tell a story. Discuss how telling a story factors into the angles and positions you choose, lens choice, and the number of images you capture.

We've all heard the phrase that a picture is worth a thousand words. I think that phrase speaks to how intertwined photography and storytelling are as mediums. For example, if you are shooting an event, you have to find a way to tell the story of the event. I was recently hired to shoot a corporate fun run for charity. I made sure I was in the right place at the right time throughout the event. I captured the group setting up and preparing. Then, I was at the starting line when the race kicked off and at the finish line when it ended. I got the standard coverage of people stretching, running, and crowd shot, but I also got some alternate and creative angles to make it interesting. I made sure I got a good photo of the oversized check being handed off with everyone shaking hands. When you put all of these different images together, you tell a story of the race from beginning to middle to end.
