    Telling stories with pictures

    How does a picture story differ from a collection of pictures on a topic? A picture story
    has a theme. Not only are the individual pictures in the story about one subject, but
    they also help to support one central theme.

    The landmark photo essay Country Doctor, by W. Eugene Smith

    Quoted Magnum Photos website:

    Although he was only a member of Magnum for four years between 1955 and 58, acclaimed
    photographer W. Eugene Smith had a lasting impact on both the agency and photojournalism in
    general. Smith compared his mode of working to that of a playwright; the powerful narrative
    structures of his photo essays set a new benchmark for the genre. His series, The Country Doctor,
    shot on assignment for Life Magazine in 1948, documents the everyday life of Dr Ernest Guy
    Ceriani, a GP tasked with providing 24-hour medical care to over 2,000 people in the small town of
    Kremmling, in the Rocky Mountains. The story was important at the time for drawing attention to the
    national shortage of country doctors and the impact of this on remote communities. Today the
    photoessay is widely regarded as representing a definitive moment in the history of
    photojournalism.

    "He would always be present. He would always be in the shadows. I
    would make the introduction and then go about my business as if he
    were just a door knob"

    - Dr Ernest Ceriani
