  1. UNDERSTANDING SAMS STORY, AUDIENCE, MESSAGE, STYLE

  2. Story-All photographs tell the viewer something about what is happening in the world around them and that great photos enable a viewer to feel what is happening and have an emotional response to the image. The old proverb says a picture is worth 1000 words, this is a great opportunity to discuss how that applies to the concept of story in photos. STORY

  3. Audience-Photos that are meant to elicit a response from the audience. Discuss with students how well composed photos would mean different things to different genres of people: age, sex, gender, ethnicity, and beliefs. AUDIENCE

  4. Message-The message of an image is what the photographer is trying to convey in terms of intended outcome, such as anti-war, propaganda, a warning to others, etc. Ask students to examine their activity sheet and identify some of the messages they found in their images. MESSAGE

  5. Style-How the image is composed? is he/she attempting to stop action, or show movement? Is the image in color/black and white. Like music and other artists, photographers have their own unique style. STYLE

  14. Now it’s your turn! • Write down the anticipated SAMS of 5 pictures you want to take. In other words, you are not randomly taking pictures. Come up with an idea before you take the shots. • Be prepared to show your pictures with your SAMS to the class.
