The Art of Storytelling Through Characters, Backgrounds, and Props

It’s not just technique—it’s intention. Powerful scenes are built from compelling characters, immersive backgrounds, and meaningful props, all carefully designed to serve the story and evoke emotion.Many artists begin their creative journeys because they were deeply moved by a character, a moment, or a scene.
