Cyn Lagos explains how to use visual language techniques like color, contrast, and scale to curate images more intentionally and help your viewer navigate your photography with powerful storytelling and meaning.

When we step out into the world, there can be an overwhelming number of things to photograph.

By using a short list of visual language techniques like color, contrast, and scale, you can begin to curate the world in front of you with more intention.

My name is Cyn Lagos, and I am a Latin-American visual storyteller focusing on graphic design, photography, and film. I have explored cities and cultures with visual language techniques as my secret playbook for producing intentional storytelling within my photographs.

As you can imagine, these techniques are born from an overlapping of all three visual disciplines that I will cover in this Hack.
