    I am a photography student studying in Blackpool in the Uk. I have been given a new brief where I have to produce at least 6 sequential photographs that tell a story. I'm at my wits end trying to find a decent story that I could actually turn into photos so I thought I would ask people if they had anything suitable. Or if anyone was willing to write something short and possibly set in Blackpool.

    Here is my flickr account so you can look at some of my work.

    I look forward to hearing from people

    I wish I had something for you! Is there a min/max amount of photos you need to use? Also are you looking for a specific genre or style? I'll see if I can find something.

    Bender...nice.
  • at least 6 photographs. I didn't want to do too many because then the quality of the images may be compromised. I have been toying with the idea of the story of someone who is haunted by a ghost or a ghost that comes back to finish some kind of unfinished business. Most of my work is light-hearted so I didn't want anything too dark...And I also wanted to use a car in some of the photographs - mainly because of the unusual lights. My ideas are too scatty at the moment! I need focus!

    I have been looking at the photographers Larry Sultan and Gregory Crewdson if anyone wanted to look for some inspiration.

      ahhh unfinished business, the best kind of business to come back and finish.

      I agree with Jim, you sound like you have a pretty good idea of what you want. This could make a pretty neat contest if you're still looking for other ideas.
  • One of my stories has a vengeful ghost and a pick up truck...but then it also has fancy stuff like animated vines and someone getting killed off by said vines strangling them...so yeah, that might be a bit hard to show visually...

    Hores before the cart.

    Hi DreamWalker 2---I can’t help but think you have got the horse before the cart in your request. Rather than ask for a story you can put to picture, why not submit the pictures you a want a story to relate to. That way the pictures become the motivation for the story. Oh and by the way your preference that the story be set in Liverpool would disqualify me, as I have only visited Liverpool once, briefly a long time ago.
    Talk to you soon---ablelaz.

    Well, how about the story could start by the ghost comming back and then the ghost haunting a girl/boy who has a car, as the car belonged to that ghost who was murdered in the car, so in revenge it makes all the people dessapear who are in that car. So at the end you could end up with a photo of an empty car...
    its just a thought, but hey...
