- Thanks for watching this course. I know starting a photo story or a project can be incredibly intimidating, but don't let that stop you. I know it's scary to pick up the phone and call your subject for the first time and ask them if you can have permission to come into their homes or their workplace and take pictures. Again, don't let that stop you, go out there and do it. I guarantee you, if you stick with it, this will be some of the most satisfying work you'll create. There's some amazing photographers working today creating awesome, powerful photo stories. I look to these guys, and I go online and check out books to keep me motivated, I recommend you do the same. I just put together a short list of a couple projects that I've been looking at lately, that you might want to check out as well. Ashley Gilberson's a great photographer, and he's got a project called Bedrooms of the Fallen, that I highly recommend. Also, he's been doing some very important news work right now…
