My photo album essay

Photo essays are a well-established part of photojournalism and have been used for decades to present a variety of information to the reader. Some of the most famous photo essayists include Ansel Adams, W. Eugene Smith, and James Nachtwey. Of course, there are thousands of photo essay examples out there from which you can draw inspiration.

As the old saying goes, “a picture is worth 1000 words.” This adage is, for many photographers, reason enough to hold photo essays in particularly high regard. For others, photo essays allow them to take pictures that are already interesting and construct intricate, emotionally-charged tales out of them.

To begin with there are pictures of me and my mother in the hospital. I am hardly two days old in the first photograph of my album. There are pictures of all my relatives and my family friends in my album. They came to visit us at the hospital and I look really small in the arms of various aunts and uncles who are seen cuddling me very lovingly.

Albums are a treasure house of memories. I have three albums that contain pictures taken by my parents right from the time I was born to the time I started going to school. These photographs have helped me to get a clear picture of my past and the time I was born.
