Visual Storytelling & Narrative Photography in 2021 | Chilliwack Photographer

March 17, 2021 in Visual Storytelling, Narrative Photography

When I first applied to City University for the Counselling program, I did so with the concept of therapeutic Visual Storytelling (Narrative Photography) on my mind. Now over 6 years later, after a lot of work, a degree in Counselling, and a lot of reflection, I’m so happy to be offering these sessions this year as a healing-informed narrative photographer. These are not Counselling sessions - I’ll be offering these sessions as a photographer, compassionately working with you to help you unfold the concept, while I photograph your story. At all times I’ll have outside resources handy if you feel you need additional support, and strongly recommend accessing a therapist as we go.

Narrative Photography is a way to process your story into visual language either for yourself and/or to share with others as a therapeutic document. Each session is custom built and custom quoted, it can be elaborate and detailed, flowing and organic, or somewhere in between. The sessions, and how they unfold, recognize the complex, individual nature of your story.

For more information, book a 20-30 complementary call or meet up with me, and let’s chat more.
