Photography isn’t just about taking a pretty picture, it’s also about telling a story. The key is to compose the photo in a way that encompasses all the elements of the story without the photo becoming cluttered and messy. In this photo you get the subject and “Arlington Urban Design Center” in the foreground. In the back you get the different city plans hanging on the wall. This tells you that the story has something to do with architecture and the Arlington Urban Design Center. Right there you already get half of the story without having to read the cutline.

The key in story telling is composition. Without good execution you leave a lot of people with unanswered questions.

With over 33,000 students, 10 different schools and colleges and over 180 degrees programs, it is impossible for every student to see everything going on everyday.  Luckily, The Shorthorn has its photographers prowling the campus looking for everyday slices of life.  Photographer Richard Hoang found this gem while walking around the Architecture Courtyard.
