Photography is a crucial part of presentations, as well as integral to our social lives. This is for a reason.
Photos can convey emotion, explain an idea, and tell a story.
When used correctly, photography can become the pivotal difference between a dull and exciting presentation. When used incorrectly, they become landmines that sabotage any presentation.
So in this slideshare we list the top five principles of photography that are crucial when incorporating them into business or pleasure.
4. Well, images are powerful
and emotional.
A single image can tell
an entire story.
It can stir curiosity and
engage an audience that’s
craving to be entertained.
5. In a presentation, images
help create an experience.
They leave a visual reference
for the audience members to
remember in the future.
However, images can be
disastrous if used incorrectly.

five key principles of photography that can make
your presentation worth viewing.

balanced photo that lets viewers interact
with the photo more easily.
