The Role of Imagery

This is a very graphic but powerful way to describe the role of imagery—where each detail conveys not just an event but an emotion, the story, and the rawness of a moment. It’s about evoking empathy and capturing the essence of what’s unsaid or unseen in that moment. When you see the dead pheasant it evokes both a deep sadness and a sense of finality, but also conveys a connection to the moment.

When creating such vivid imagery, the small moments—the way light falls, the stillness, the tension before the event—help communicate that weight. It's like telling the entire story with a single snapshot, where every detail serves a purpose.
