Telling stories with photography has the unique power to capture and convey feelings that resonate deeply with viewers. One creator who exemplifies this ability is Marcus Ubungen, the genius behind the YouTube channel, Between The Bellows. His channel dives into his local community, showcasing powerful interviews with individuals and includes stunning large format film portraits. These stories are thoughtfully curated, providing a remarkable glimpse into the lives of his subjects in a short span of time.
Marcus’s approach to storytelling through photography is incredible. Each video on Between The Bellows takes us on a journey, introducing them to a new person and unveiling their unique story. The large format film portraits he creates are soooo bloomin’ good and add a layer of depth and beauty to the narratives he shares. These portraits are not just photographs on film; they are real solid windows into the people he photographs, offering viewers an intimate look at their lives.
We are excited to share Marcus Ubungen’s work on the Loop blog and hope to feature more of his exceptional photography in the future. His ability to tell compelling stories through his lens is a powerful reminder of the impact photography can have.

How can you start telling stories with photography?
Inspired by Marcus’s work, we want to encourage you on your own storytelling journeys through photography. Whether you are a seasoned photographer or a beginner, there are always new techniques to learn and stories to tell. Here at Loop Art & Photo Space, we offer a variety of photography classes designed to help you hone your skills and find your unique voice as a photographer.
Our classes cover everything from the basics of digital photography to the art of film developing and darkroom printing. Each class is structured to provide hands-on experience and practical knowledge, ensuring that you walk away with not just skills, but also the confidence to tell your own stories through photography. Our beginner photography class, for example, will teach you how to use manual settings on your camera to capture the perfect shot. Our film development and darkroom printing classes offer a more tactile and artistic approach, allowing you to create and develop your own unique prints.
Telling stories with photography is a journey of discovery. It’s about finding those moments, big and small, that speak to you and capturing them in a way that resonates with others.
