what are photostories?

Question

Recently i was asked to do a photostory but i am a novice with absolutely no idea what it means. Is it a group of pictures with captions that suggests what the picture is about? or is it like a video? because a google search turned up a lot of .wmv files...but i need to know what it basically is! Please help!!

Answer 1

I am from the old school. I studied in the 40s and was a pro in the early 50s. I would call a photo story a series of photographs with a theme and cut lines, or as you Young ones might say, captions.

Answer 2

To my understanding, it's a sequence of similar photos that tell a story together.

Answer 3

A comic strip made out of photographs. Like this http://www.viz.co.uk/photostories.html
