Who is Narrative?

Founded in 2018 by award-winning wedding photographer James Broadbent, Narrative began as a tool to take the grind out of culling and editing - helping photographers spend less time behind the screen and more time creating. Since then, we’ve grown into something much bigger: a global community of photographers who uplift, support, connect, and collaborate.

At Narrative, photographers are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re thrilled to host the 4th annual Narrative International Photography Awards - celebrating creativity and the stories only photographers can tell.
