Quite a bit of work goes into making and telling a visual story. When done right, it may not look to others like you struggled at all to produce something visually attractive and engaging. Make no mistake, though, photographically showcasing a story takes time and involves copious amounts of research, planning, technical skill, style, and then even more time. For a lot of folks in the profession (and for many who are not), it also requires a fair amount of expense, depending on the size of the project.
