Which is done through the aid of storytelling. The medium I’ve chosen for the final outcome is a combination of photographs and illustrations. This story-photograph relation varies with respective stories depending on the requirement of the story.

1. Community Animals
2. Dealing With Injured Animals
3. Adoption VS Buying
