PhotoStory is all about discovering, reflecting, and engaging by means of hearing the backstory of particular images that mightn’t otherwise be told. Justin describes the image Episode 3 of PhotoStory is featuring, where he was, what led up to it, the conditions the shot was taken and his success in finding the couple he was photographing to give them copies of his images.

The main theme with Photostory will be discussing the backstory of particular images shot by photographers, sometimes including myself. So often we see an image which draws us in, but we know little about the context or what led up to that particular image being captured. There’ll also be opportunities to discuss how photography has helped people cope with trauma, stress, and conflict in places like Iraq, as well as fighting against mental fatigue brought on by Covid, isolation etc.
