What is a photo essay?

A small set of photos that work together to tell one story, like a beginning, middle, and end. Each photo adds to the same idea.

How do you plan a 3-photo story?

Pick one simple idea, then shoot a photo to start it, one to build it, and one to finish it. Three photos that belong together.

Shoot three photos that tell one little story together, then upload the set.

A set of photos that tells one story.

Try it · build a 3-shot story

Three photos. One story. Tap them in order — wide first, then a detail, then the moment — and watch the story come together.

Your story builds here as you tap, one line at a time. That's a photo essay — many frames, one story. You just made one.
