Now, that your seed is planted. It’s time to water your young seedling and give it some more attention. We will do this by creating a photostory of your seedling - carefully examining your idea more closely and starting to build a first soft and fragile representation of your story.

Photostories are a way to represent certain issues or practices through photos. This can be done either individually or in a group to answer a specific question or tell a particular story. You can use your rich picture to identify key issues, events and impacts, and how they could be visually represented, that could be strung together into a more linear narrative. The idea is to take photos and/or draw pictures of your linear narrative which you then compile into a sequence and sometimes with additional written text to add to the visuals. A photostory can be really helpful as it enables you to quickly produce and share your perspective with a group or wider community and to start a discussion.
