Although not all photographers have to tell a story with their work, I admire those -- like Matt Henry -- who do. Through his heavily saturated images, Henry conjures up scenarios that compels your mind to fill in the blanks. Reeling with imagination, you can't help but feel more of a connection with each photo.
Matt Henry entitles this photography collection 'Short Story1.' Each image is just like a short story. What I particularly appreciate is the fact that most of his images don't center on a person or set of people, but rather a scene and what just happened or will happen at that scene.
