SOME EXAMPLES OF MINI STORY COVERAGE BY FORMER STUDENTS
See Erika Schultz' High School Rodeo coverage
(has more than three phots, but a perfect example of mini-story coverage)

SOME RULES REGULATING MINI STORIES
Three photos (and only three) put togetherthat tell the story of an event
1. ALL THREE PHOTOS ARE COMPELLING AND ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND ON THEIR OWN.
THAT MEANS THAT IF AN EDITOR IS NOT ABLE TO RUN ALL THREE PHOTOS,
EACH PHOTO WOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BE PUBLISHED ALONE.
2. THERE IS A STRONG DOMINANT PHOTO
"The dominant photo does not have to be a context photo.
It may be a photo that is so strong
that is will command the readers' attention.
It may even be a closeup, but not a detail shot.
3. YOU GET THREE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES OF YOUR SUBJECT
THAT, PUT TOGETHER, TELLS A VISUAL STORY.
4. YOU GET A MEANINGFUL CLOSEUP AND CONTEXT PHOTO.
YOUR EVENT SUBJECT CAN BE ANYTHING
AND DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A MAJOR EVENT.
5. YOUR PHOTOS ARE CANDID, NOT POSED. IT IS CANDID STORY-TELLING.
YOU CAN MAKE GREAT PHOTOS FROM A BORING EVENT!!!!
