Question 2

2. This is a multi-part question. Please create a visual post for your blog on a topic specific to your business and answer the questions below. This involves critical thinking. What is important to your business and visitors? The image must be the focal point of the post telling the story or conveying a point. You may include multiple images. The goal is to visually convey a message with minimal text. Please pay attention to what was discussed in class. Ensure that you include a link to the blog post in your answer. Do not forget that this needs to be included in your hardcopy. I am marking what you hand in with your hardcopy but also need to see the digital version on your blog. If it is not online for me to view (in addition to the hardcopy), I cannot mark this question. (4 Marks)

This shot locks in the energy of the ride, fast, raw, and full of grit. The shadows and motion blur create a vibe that feels more like a scene than a photo. This is the kind of image that makes you remember what it felt like to be there.

Here, the motion slows down, just enough to let the moment breathe. The golden hour light wraps everything in warmth and makes it feel cinematic. It’s not just a shot of a bike — it’s a snapshot of freedom.

There’s something powerful about seeing the road head-on — like you’re in it. This angle lends presence and intensity, while still maintaining a clean and controlled feel.
It turns the ride into a statement, not just a scene.

Rolling shots do more than show your car or bike, they bring it to life. These kinds of visuals tell your story the way it deserves to be told. Want to see what your ride looks like in motion? Let’s make it happen.

a. Why did you choose the specific image(s)? (3 Marks)

I chose these images because each one captures a different feeling, even though the subject, the rider and the bike stay the same. Having the biker in the frame will be eye-catching for the reader and immediately show what the article is about. It is more of a high-action photo that will make people stop and look. Because of this, it is also a way of selling myself as a photographer because I’m the one who took the picture they stopped to look at.The blog post is about how rollers can tell a story and how powerful the motion in the picture is. I want my customers to see this content because I’m trying to sell myself as the photographer who can take photos like that for them. My package for rolling shots is also my most expensive package and would be the most beneficial to sell my customers on.

One shot feels sharp and aggressive with strong shadows, another is warmer and cinematic thanks to the golden hour lighting, and the last one feels more direct and powerful with a clean front angle. We talked in class about the importance of knowing your audience and telling a story visually, and I think these images do exactly that. They connect with the viewer differently (Briscoe, W12 – D – Writing For Social Media In 2025.pdf, Slide 49). It’s not just about showing the bike; it’s about making someone feel something that makes them want to take some sort of action. These images were chosen to show how visuals can guide emotion and create meaning, a big part of the content strategy we’ve learned this semester.

b. Explain in detail why the image(s) was beneficial for the post. (3 Marks)

These photos are the main content of the post—they tell the story without needing a lot of words. We’ve talked about this a lot in class: visuals are often more powerful than text when it comes to engagement and memory (Briscoe, W12 – E—Create Perfect Social Media Posts (W25).pdf, Slide 11).

The motion blur shows speed, the lighting adds mood, and the angles give personality. All of those things help the viewer connect with the content without needing it spelled out. I also kept the layout minimal, which reflects what we learned about tailoring content for different platforms and, in this case, using fewer words because the visuals say it all (Briscoe, W12 – C – Social Media Content (W25).pdf, Slide 24). Overall, the post uses visuals as the main message, and it was beneficial to the post because they are “epic” pictures. They helped sell me as a photographer who can shoot these rollers for them. As a photographer, it’s more beneficial to show the readers what I can do rather than try to explain it through words.
