The best photo essays on the planet? Pictory does it, collaboratively with stunning presentation and typography to boot. Not to mention powerful stories that accompany strong photos. It’s Boston’s The Big Picture, only on steroids. It’s photography, design and poetry done right.
As of writing, Pictory only has six humble but hugely inspirational features and I’m already sold as a huge fan. Photos and their accompanied stories are presented in a way that beg you to sit down, grab a cup of coffee and savour each entry in its entirety.
My favourites thus far are, San Fransisco and the latest, One Who Got Away which features a thought on the very thing humanity desperately seeks day in and out:
That’s the thing about happiness; you never can tell when you’ve reached a peak. You can only compare where you are to where you’ve been.
