Amy Stein teaches photography at both Parsons and the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Her work has been shown at the the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Nevada Museum of Art.

As I was going through Amy Stein’s photograph series—Domesticated, Women and Guns, and  Stranded, I realized I could play a game of exquisite corpse narrative with them. Instead of the traditional head, torso, and legs; my version is beginning, middle, and end of a tale. If I took one photo from each series, I could form a visually eerie, campfire story.

Example 1:

Example 2:

It doesn’t work for all her photos, but it is kind of fun.
