Make it
Use a comfortable position by a window. Framing and titles do the storytelling; you do not need filters or editing software.
- 1
Choose a view you can photograph comfortably without leaning or reaching.
- 2
Take a mystery version by framing a partial shape or a little empty space.
- 3
Take a comedy version by noticing an odd pairing, then a quiet science-fiction version by emphasizing a reflection or unfamiliar shape.
- 4
Give each photo a short title and compare how the story changed.
Short on energy? Take one photograph and give it two different titles.
A good place to stop: One photo with three alternative titles is also a complete set.
Make it work for you: Rest the device on a stable surface. Reuse one photo and change only the titles if handling it is tiring.
Another route: Try romance, adventure, and documentary instead.
