PhotoTales: Official Guidelines and Community Introduction
Welcome to PhotoTales — Where Photography Meets Fiction

Photography captures a moment.
Storytelling gives it meaning.
PhotoTales is the meeting point between both worlds.
This new community was created for photographers and writers who love to imagine beyond the frame.
Here, every image becomes a scene, and every post turns into a short story, invented or inspired by real life.
We believe that every photograph hides a story waiting to be told. Maybe a memory, a dream, or something completely fictional, but always full of emotion and creativity.
What to Post
Each entry must include between 1 and 5 related photos and a short story of 200 to 400 words that connects them into one coherent narrative.
Your story can be completely fictional or inspired by real life, as long as it feels like a small film told through words and images.
Posts should be creative, imaginative, and emotional. Not travel blogs, documentaries, or essays.
You can write in English, Spanish, or both.
What matters is the story behind the photo.
🌟 Weekly Highlights
Every week, three entries will be featured:
We’ll highlight creativity, photography quality, and the harmony between story and images.
