Story Starters for Your Photo Book PagesStory starters will help jumpstart your brain when it seems that the empty page just doesn't want anything to be written on it. It seems even harder to add text to the story that your pictures tell. Use these story starters to help you add words and captions to your photo books.
InterviewsIf your photo book is going to focus on one or two people you can first start by interviewing those people. The first step is to come up with a list of questions that fit your pictures, person, and purpose. When you look at the answers you may come up with great page titles and quotes to include in your book. If you already have the pictures that you want to use, you could show these pictures as part of the interview process and get the feelings they invoke from the person in the picture.The difficult part of creating an interview and getting good answers is to start with questions that require more than a yes or no answer. Don't expect your interviewee will provide you with wonderful stories if you don't give them a good story starter as a question. I can remember when my children would come home from school and their answer would only be "nothing" when you asked what happened at school that day. By learning more about the types of activities I could get a lot more information by asking "Did you have any special classes today?" (meaning PE, Art, etc.). This question related to their day and gave them a pause to answer this specific question. Our conversations greatly improved. Use this technique when creating your own questions. Your interview may be easier to tape and write down later as you may get long answers that will be hard to write down. A few creative questions will give you great ideas to add to your story.
