Level-up your written communications with photos!
A powerful tool to pair alongside your written communications, photos taken with intention create the biggest impact.
So how can make an impact with your photos? #Storytelling.
Convey a story in as little as 5 photos 🧵
5️⃣ Emotions: Photos displaying emotion create connection by enabling us to empathise with the subject. E.g. A photo capturing the farmers emotions - are they happy, sad, surprised, something else?
💡 Knowing the theme of your photos will help guide what you capture. For example, the theme for the above could be a farmer harvesting a new crop that is generating income, or an old crop that is causing the farmer to make little or no income.
Ultimately value can be allocated into 3 categories: 📚 Education
🤩 Entertainment
💫 Inspiration
🛑 This does not mean you share everything you find inspirational or entertaining with your audience…
It needs to relate to your brand and what it offers! Brand pillars really help with this 😉
So before hitting that post button, ask yourself if the content
1️⃣ Fits into any of the value categories
2️⃣ Will benefit your audience
3️⃣ Relates to your brand
These list of questions are by no means exhaustive. Figuring out your target audience is crucial for successful communications. You need to know who you are targeting in order to create content that resonates with them.
