Ever read or watch something that is so clearly pushing a one-sided argument, trying so hard to win your support but not presenting alternatives or differing perspectives?
Probably left a bad taste in your mouth, right?
That one-sided push is not how to be persuasive.
Winning a viewers' trust is key, and that means telling stories that reveal the whole picture.
But, this isn’t as straight-forward as you think.
See, when you're working on documenting a conservation issue, it can be really easy to become so wrapped up in it that you actually become a little myopic.
You can get so close to the topic that you perhaps don't see what it is that you're leaving out or you're so emotionally connected to the topic that you find it hard to document opposing views.
In this episode, we dive into the idea that conservation photographers are bridges, connectors, and how you can use this concept to to put your own opinions aside.
This way, you can see that whole story and become a far more persuasive conservation photographer because of it.
You'll Learn
- What it really means to be a connector
- The importance of building bridges through photographs
- Why we’re easily persuaded by some things, and not others
- How to frame your thinking and tell persuasive stories
