Photo-essay

Main article: Essay

A photo-essay (or photographic essay) is a set or series of photographs that are intended to tell a story or evoke a series of emotions in the viewer. A photo essay will often show pictures in deep emotional stages. Photo essays range from purely photographic works to photographs with captions or small notes to full text essays with a few or many accompanying photographs. Photo essays can be sequential in nature, intended to be viewed in a particular order, or they may consist of non-ordered photographs which may be viewed all at once or in an order chosen by the viewer.^{[citation needed]} People who have undertaken photo essays include Bruce Davidson, W. Eugene Smith, Walker Evans, David Alan Harvey, and Andre Kertesz.
