The persuasive power of visual storytelling

Visual storytelling works — from brands to babies. It has always worked for almost any kind of audience since ages but in this age of digital excess, it’s working like never before. Having spent good number of years in photography and digital industry, I can safely say that from communicating to comprehending, visuals have now become the prime language for many.

My personal litmus test for the power of visual storytelling? My 5 year old :-). 3 scenarios that are regular in my household-

I narrate a story to him;

I narrate a story to him and show him the pictures;

I narrate a story to him, show him the pictures and then let him play with his book asking to observe the pictures for few seconds;

Without fail, connect as well as recall of the stories are highest in the third scenario.
