My definition of a photo essay would be a series of photographs of which the intent is to tell a story.
Types of shots:
Close ups:
The close up, or portrait shot is when the subject of the picture is in focus and the background is out of focus, close ups specifically on people focus on faces and heads and only go down to the neck.
Detail shot:
a detail shot is a closer, tighter image of details that are relevant to the story. In this case the details are of the nails of this person.
High angle shot:
This shot is taken from above the subject of focus, this can have an effect of making the viewer of the picture seem more powerful.
Medium shot:
a medium shot is an image that get's closer to the action, and generally tell what the story is about. in medium shots the subject is generally shot from the waist up
Low angle shot:
a low angle shot is taken from below the subject of the photograph, this has an impact of making the subject more powerful.
