Exposure Photo Essays
Printed Publications
Exposure is a tool to create beautiful photo narratives.
It’s also a community of passionate photographers and
storytellers. Exposure is a great place to tell your story
using images and some words to go with your photos. The
tool helps to turn a pile of photos into a story. Sometimes
just a few words can make all the difference.
Printed publications can showcase knowledge and
research, or promote contributions and achievements
made by the projects. We should communicate in language
that is concise and easy to understand. This requires
plain words, simpler sentences and well-structured
analysis. Compelling human interest stories about how
our projects are changing the lives of ordinary people
around the world in a positive and sustainable way helps
communicate results better.
Exposure encourages a narrative-driven approach to
sharing photos. Once you sign up, you are presented with
an ultra-minimal workflow for dragging and dropping your
images into sets or full-width spreads, separated by blocks
of text where you can enter titles and descriptions of
what’s going on. The layout is seductively straightforward,
with very few customization options.
